Karen Berg of the Kentucky Senate Standing Committee on the Judiciary suggested pedophiles need “child sex dolls” because they “actually decrease their proclivity to go out and attack children.”
The committee met to discuss a bill making possessing a child sex doll a felony offense.
The senator added that the dolls give pedophiles “a release that makes them less likely to go outside of their home. And what was interesting is the research did not support the same conclusions who were adult attracted using dolls, that did not diminish their proclivity to engage other people.”
Berg’s colleagues were visibly uncomfortable.
“The research is not very good and it’s not comprehensive, but the research that is out there is conclusive,” Berg stated.

The comments come as some have attempted to normalize pedophilia, instead considering pedophiles “minor-attracted persons.”
In 2022, a state-funded sex offender counselor for Pennsylvania defended what she referred to as “minor-attracted persons” and compared pedophilia to a typical sexual preference.
Miranda Galbreath claimed that “minor-attracted persons” (MAPs) are some of the most “marginalized” people in our culture.
Similarly, controversy erupted after a designer brand sexualized children by featuring a child in a bondage outfit.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson called an advertisement for the brand another demonstration of adult “involvement with the sexuality of children.”
“That has always been, and in a civilized society must always be, the most forbidden thing. It’s considered unacceptable even among prison inmates. But now it seems to be growing in its prevalence,” Carlson said.
Carlson said that the ad was “what it appears to be,” saying the company created an “endorsement of kiddie porn, of child pornography.”
