That's a very good point. Positions of power and trust would be ideal for this, I guess.
So you believe that the numbers over time were/are pretty consistant, just in the light more often now because of similar scandals? Or possibly an increase of pedophilia on a worldwide scale over time?
I suspect that pedophilia has always been around- but back in the days where a girl got married at 16 or younger, the freaks could 'legitimately' do their thing.
I don't think that pedophilia is environmental. There's something wrong inside the pedophile. So I tend to doubt that there are more of them now, per capita, than there have been in earlier times. We just have much more access to information so we hear more about them.
