Seems like an easy solution to me.

It's a great way to inflict pain and embarrassment on a pedophile, but unfortunately it wouldn't solve the problem of their predatory behaviour. In my deviancy class a few years back we talked about this and the prof said that castration is only effective at stopping sexual desires if it is done before the person reaches puberty. If it's done after puberty the person will still have the desires, but will not be able to perform them (obviously). It may reduce their danger to society, but they would remain a significant threat.
