RES: [NABOKV-L] THOUGHTS: HH and the law (was Lolita in
America...)
America...)
From

James Studdard,
Are you sure that the American law names pedophiles, pederasts? There is a
huge difference in etymology, meaning and practical consequences. [ JS:These
considerations rarely enter the minds of a pederast (the correct name for a
pedophile). Usually, a practiced sexual predator knows the law and always
seeks concealment of the fact. ]
Below, a very good point! [ BTW, HH would have never conveyed his amorous
intentions via Email. His ego would have prevented it. HH needed the
exhilaration of the empirical "reaction" "expression" etc. I have no
doubt, however, that Lolita would have burned up cyber-space with her
fantasies. JS]
