Outing
2011 · Film · documentary · 85 min
Directed by Thomas Reider, Sebastian Meise
Sven is thirty, eloquent, studied archaeology and has never been guilty of anything. But, since puberty, Sven has felt sexually attracted to children. He attends therapy sessions and is determined never give in to his desires. In order to overcome his isolation, and to protect himself, Sven ventures into the public eye – a risky step that few dare to take. Filmmakers Sebastian Meise and Thomas Rieder accompanied Sven over several years and documented Sven’s struggle to deal with his sexual inclination, without being a danger to himself or others. Thoughts are free – where does guilt begin? Is society too quick to accuse? What place in society is a man like Sven allowed to take? This film puts both morals and enlightenment to the test.

Like many others are saying, this does sure look like entrapment.
I cannot recommend the movie Outing [1] enough! It a documentary following a paedophile in Germany. Turns out there are a lot of "non-practicing" paedophiles that are recognizing that they shouldn't act on their desires, but they still have those desires. I think they'd be very easy targets for entrapment if someone approaches them like this.
