Hi Mike:
I didn't suggest that an accused must accept supervision; quite the opposite from my parenthetical, above. 
I'm not talking about demonizing men, nor social isolation.  They can be physically isolated together, to you point of "accountability and support".  I'm also not advocating that we confine them to a square mile of land in Alaska, give each a fork, and tell them to fend for themselves.
I agree that laicization may, indeed, be a way for a some dioceses to wash their hands of a problem; it shouldn't be.  If they cannot be placed on a sex-offender registry to be tracked (after criminal conviction), the diocese must manage them; I just believe that physical isolation with others who have the same - what - condition? disease? attraction? - is a consideration that should not be overlooked.  The life of prayer and penance, I think, is sound practice.
