Certainly both men and women and gays and straights can molest children. And certainly most gays aren't molesters.

However, according to this psychologist blogger, it would seem that child molestation is definitely more common for homosexual men than any other group of people. And it seems that homosexual pedophiles account for a whopping 80% of all acts of molestation. While this isn't PC, it seems to be true.

“While no more than 2% of male adults are homosexual... approximately 35% of pedophiles are homosexual. Further, since male-on-male pedophiles victimize far more children than do heterosexual pedophiles, it is estimated that approximately 80% of pedophilic victims are boys who have been molested by adult males.”

Of course, it is only anecdotal, but there is no question that the majority of homosexual patients I have seen had their first encounter with an older man when they were still adolescents.
