I was thinking about this too, but then I realized that it is several times worse than that.
This man was deemed dangerous because it's possible that he may go out and molest a child. Think about that.
He's being persecuted for a crime he might be thinking about doing. --> The possibility of thought-crime.
To put it into an easier situation, let's say that there was someone who pissed you off a bit. You weren't too mad, just a bit annoyed. Police would then come and arrest you by saying you might have been thinking about going and killing that person.
They have no proof that he were thinking about going out and molesting children, and they probably won't ever because revenge is easier and apparently a lot better than rehabilitation.
