Should a paedophile who has not only been looking at child porn on the net go free or go to jail?

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/200706...

The police in the UK have asked men who look at indecent images, but have not actually harmed a child to get help. Do you think that these men should be charged anyway? Or do you think that if they have not hurt anyone and get help, they should be allowed freedom and not sent to jail? Is looking at porn on the net as bad as harming the child who has been abused to make the image?

Please read the question carefully before answering.

Answers:
If they pay for the pedo porn then I say they're contributing to the abuse, so yes, they should go to jail. If they just came across it for free, then no, though it pains me to say it.
Now, if I were law enforcement I'd definitely want to compile a list of these perverts since many of them may graduate to actually committing pedophilia. If a child is molested or raped, the police would have some doors to knock on.

You please read your OWN question before sending- use the spellcheck, stupid.

It doesn't matter if it is AS bad as harming the child- the fact that they are providing a market for the child pornography should have some sort of penalty. No demand, no supply, no pictures taken in the first place.
"Is looking at porn on the net as bad as harming the child who has been abused to make the image?"

Yes it is.
By looking at child porn a person creates a demand and this is the problem.some people will do anything for money. How can a man look at a child in a sexual way? that is so twisted.
Looking at child porn on the net encourages the industry (for lack of a better word), so yes, they are equally guilty. I think pedophiles should be killed. It has been proven time and time again that they can not be rehabilitated. They are beyond redemption.
NItty, you're a dimwit. The asker is from the UK. He or she is using British spelling.
