(Prophesy)
Isaiah 61:1-2 61 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord...."

(Fulfillment)
Luke 4:16-22
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
Bring your bondages, your hang ups, your troubles, your shortcomings, your inadequacies, your addictions, and the things that oppress you to Jesus Christ.
He is the Anointed Savior, anointed to deliver you from the things that hold you captive, including homosexuality, sodomy, pedophilia, incest, lesbianism, bisexuality, and all manner of sexual immorality and sin, no matter how heinous.
Give your heart and life to the One Who loves you and gave His life for you. Ask Jesus Christ to save you from your sins.

"Researchers have failed to find a consistent connection between sexual identification or sexual orientation label and child sexual abuse."
"Same-sex misconduct ranges from 18 to 28 percent of the reported cases."
Going by that, it looks like it's us heteros doing most of the child touching. There's other stuff I can post if need be. I don't think it's wise to base your argument on a few publicized scandals, especially when they were so publicized partially because of the homosexual angle.

"For instance, in Shakeshaft and Cohan (1994), of the 24 percent of males who targeted other males, all of the offenders described themselves as heterosexual, with most living in married or heterosexual relationships."
Erm, the number I usually see is ~4%.
It's hard to go from the number StyleTime provided to making statements about the population. What we can say for sure that is relevant to the original question is that most child sexual abuse is not same sex. It is also true that this shows a much higher rate of same sex interaction than in the general population.
I think it is interesting to note that this is a study of educators, which makes it occur to me that we usually have same sex authority structures when children are involved. Male camp councilors for male students. Female teachers for girl's sex ed classes.

I have heard 10% before, so I'd agree that 12% is probably the highest liberal estimate (barring people who think everyone's bisexual).
But yeah, 4% is closer to the common number.
At any rate, between opportunity (as inimalist and sym suggest) and the fact that the assumption of heterosexuality/homosexuality doesn't necessarily apply to pedophiles that explains a lot. Obviously never enough to satisfy Raisen, but what you gonna do.

he's likely following the philosophy of "if i can save just one person, then it was worth all the effort." of course even by this it still means that it was not worth all the effort.
