castrate everyone accused of a sexual abuse

OK, now I think I see the problem we're having.
accused should be convicted as in, convicted under our current legal system where the burden of proof is satisfied. Surely you didn't think I meant anyone who is randomly accused? If so I apologize, and apologize anyway for the careless wording. In my mind I was equating accused w/ convicted, not sure why I did that...

But by your other argument, it would be better to castrate anyone accused of a sexual offense because it would be the most effective way of saving potential victims, y'know, in case he's wrongly acquitted.
