Can someone who has never been accused of acting violently toward another human being be deemed a "sexually violent predator" in this state? You bet your ass they can.

Whatever convicted kiddie-porn-watcher Anthony Diodoro is (dumb, depressed, depraved, addicted) he is not a sexually violent predator as any normal person would understand that term. But thanks to the Pennsylvania legislature, our courts and case law, he could very well be deemed as such.
