since you are defining behaviors for your own needs as you go, its pointless to continue. i think any reasonable person can understand that society deems this behavior unacceptable, the law has deemed it illegal and its very clear that those individuals choosing to engage in this behavior, understand that (hence, the arrest and subsequent convictions).
your arguments are weak. just having an "urge" no matter what its origin, does not absolve the individual of the need to control it and conduct himself within the boundaries of acceptable behavior and the law.
anyone can use your simple and weak reasoning to justify and rationalize anything...thats why we have laws, written in ink, devised to establish boundaries to behavior and protect the rights of others.
its shameful that you would go so far to defend a rabbi who goes to meet an underage boy for sex.
if it was your 12 yr old girl being enticed by a 57 year old taxi dispatcher and trying to meet her for sex... i submit that your attitude on the issue and whats acceptable would be quite different.
