26. I voted "other"
While I believe that child predators should be prosecuted, I object to this being covered by the media.
Maybe just a scrolling line saying an arrest had been made, but certainly nothing further. Oh, and only this because there has been so much media attention already.

There are so many cases which are not covered, and just because these people happened to be wealthy, it is not enough reason to cover it.

Now, if there was a predator operating in an area and the public needed to be informed, that is pertinent information and I believe the public needs to be informed. Just the same as if a serial killer was on the loose.

I maintain that the DA need to do their jobs and being tried in the court of public opinion is a waste of time. There are far more issues which need coverage which are being ignored.
