You are now attempting to conflate the condition, sexually attracted to kids or not, with behavior. Whether or not someone actually has sex with a child does not change their attraction. If I'm not mistaken, this is the crux of your stigma campaign.
Using your behavior criteria I suppose you would consider nuns mildly heterosexual; or homosexual as the case may be. If I fuck everyday am I severely heterosexual? What's the cutoff for mild, once a month? It's absurd.
Do you realise that a diagnoses of suffering from "mild" paedophilia actually implies he had a lot more freedom from his urges than someone suffering from "severe" paedophilia, thus means Jared complete control over his actions and the diagnosis works against him and for the prosecution in effect?
