I'm feeling a lot of feelings. Backstory is I found out the man I was in a relationship was using child pornography (and had been since early adolesence). I spent about 6 months trying to help him and get him professional help. The whole experience was emotionally crushing. I left him and reported him as he was more interested in self-pity than helping himself. I've been in touch with police since reporting him and they visited his house (one year after the original report) to discuss his "wellbeing". He claimed to be in counselling for his attractions and to not be using child porn (pretty doubtful). They said there's nothing they can do.

I feel demoralized, guilty, angry and incredibly frustrated all at once. He is treated like this poor little victim. It's enraging. Meanwhile many want to make me feel guilty either for reporting him at all or others for not reporting him soon enough. It's depressing to think how little our society really cares about victims of child abuse. Meanwhile of course there is the horrible movement of "MAPs" pushing this oppressed sexual minority narrative and creeps like Yaniv who are protected by the trans community and tech companies. Anyone who claims that pedophiles are not able to get help for their perversions is so full of shit. I've seen how my ex was supported by his family while I was demonized for not coddling him and for giving it to him straight how disgusting his behaviour is. I've seen how there were many professionals out there offering their services to counsel him without turning him in. I've seen how even after reporting him nothing of consequence has happened just a chat about his wellbeing. These men are NOT victims they are not helpless and their actions are premeditated and calculated.
