First the host of the Kiss FM morning show was fired after being arrested for having sex with two teen girls, then his replacement was fired after being the host of the show for only under a week for being convicted for child pornography. Finally, yesterday the host of a youth TV show shot in schools was fired for being convicted for a year long sexual affair with a 14-year old.

Marja Vuento, criminal investigator of sexual crimes:

- This type of behavior is a search for extreme within sex. When everything is in a way permitted, everything has been experimented, it is somewhat as with drugs, by increasing the dose the satisfaction reduces gradually.

- There is an urge to increase the dose and experimenter even more extreme subjects. Then sex with children and especially pre-teenage girls, unexperienced, is something not yet experienced
