The use of drugs to suppress the production of testosterone – which could form part of the chemical castration of criminals – is commonly used as a treatment for prostate cancer. But even when given to older men, such as my late husband, Jeremy, who died of prostate cancer two years ago, it can take a long time, years even, for it to reduce both libido and sexual function.
Unsurprisingly, the effectiveness of the drugs can vary between patients. Viagra-type drugs can be taken to restore a man’s sexual function. Injectable testosterone can also be acquired. What’s to stop offenders getting hold of such drugs and continuing to pose a threat to vulnerable girls?
In any case, it’s worth remembering that rape is only part of a paedophile’s agenda.
