The son is not sick. He was misguided and probably had a normal curiosity that teen boys have. Many kids have played these types of games, but in his case, it was not a game since the victims did not have equal power. He was a minor as were his victims. His parents took action (in their own way). All families have issues.
If I had to bet, easily 40% of our sons will/would act out in a bizarre sexual way if not properly educated (are you educating your sons and daughters?)
I want to comment on this as the mother of a 14 year old boy (who has a younger sister). My son heard about this incident and brought it up last night at dinner. His exact word were "there was something seriously wrong with him. that is disgusting" If my CHILD can see the wrong in this at 14, why can't you?
PP here - I want to add that we never had to "properly educate" him for him to know that is disgusting. The fact that you think that says a lot not only about you, but your view of men. 99% of men, young and old, do NOT need to be "properly educated" to see the wrong in touching children, some as young as 5, is very, very wrong.
As a parent, it is my responsibility to properly educate my children intellectually, emotionally, socially. This includes teaching them about sex, boundaries, respect for themselves and for others, right from wrong, good citizenship, kindness, healthy forms of love and communication, and critical thinking. If one of my adolescent kids thought that forcing themselves sexually on a 4 year old was normal, or a "mistake", I would be terrified that they had been abused themselves, and heartbroken for their victims. I would get them treatment, and face whatever legal and therapeutic consequences need to be faced. And I would NEVER pimp this out on TV for money. So yes, I am educating my son AND daughters to be independent, strong, caring individuals. Not setting them up to become sexual predators or victims.
