Given his attitude and nature of his offending, there's a 99% likelyhood he will re-offend. There was a (US I think) Programme where they confronted this 'Kind' of offender, with (now) adult-victims, of the same or similar behaviour. The perpetrators admitted that it was the Only thing that had ever had any rehabilitative effect on them. These interviews were all in Prison, and more than one admitted there was no hope for rehabilitation. Most, but not all, had been victims of the same crimes as children. Before they were confronted by the Adult-Victims, none of them appeared able to empathise in any way with their victims.. It was akin-to a light being switched-on, which was scary because the reaction was real, not put-on. The victims in this experimental approach, reported empowerment and closure, but the Organisers had struggled to get participants.
