One of the saddest things I learned from working with convict’s mental health was that an alarming amount of child abusers weren’t pedophiles. It was a crime of opportunity, not desire, for most of them. And that sort of fucks you up, because most people want a neatly ordered world, however, bad people will do horrible things regardless of whatever neat little boxes society wants to create to put them into.
Well, I actually respect pedophiles, who don’t act on their desires, but many do.
