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.

Suma...I think this is why the Repub leadership went carefully on the emails they knew about. One can't just "willynilly" go accusing someone of something terrible, just because they are "suspected" of being gay.

BUT the IM's are a different matter. If ABC and CREW kept these to themselves until right before an election, then it is reprehensible in more than one way.

The most important thing is that, if they did hold them for the "October effect", they possibly put other kids at risk! And that should be a crime.

The other important thing is that, if ABC and CREW did keep these underwrap until right before the election....then we have another SERIOUS problem to deal with.

I will be waiting to see what the FBI finds out in their investigation of the whole sordid matter....
