"Chip" choose to show himself the way he did on a webcam/the internet. You should know that anything you do on the internet can be published. Although naive Chip probably thought he was chatting with two "innocent" teenage girls who would, in no way, go to the police with his disgusting videos, photos and messages, every normal-thinking person knows there's a chance even those '14 year old innocent girls' nowadays are in the position to upload those kinda vids on sites like youtube or google video or even show it to their parents. My point being, as soon as you show yourself on a webcam or even chat on the internet with an instant messenger, there's no way you can be sure that it's just between you and the person on the other side or that it will stay that way. If you consider your behaviour on a webcam as normal for the person on the other line, then why would it be disapproved by the rest of the world if it's 'normal'? His "bad luck" in this case was that he wasn't chatting with those 14 year olds he thought he was chatting with. You write 'innocent until proven guilty'. What other kind of proof do you want? In my eyes there's only two scenarios this guy is 'innocent': 1. Him being convinced he was chatting with adults so he wouldn't be considered a paedophile but more someone who enjoys showing his manly parts and using them on the webcam. 2. The people who are playing the role of the 14 year old kids kinda pushed him in this position asking him to show that kinda pictures and videos and write this kinda messages. Although I think he's still guilty in this scenario, him being the adult and society expects this guy to know better. Just my two cents..
