The Real Child Moslester Is...

My brother recently asked for statistics which support that gay men are not in general child moslesters. It is an insulting question, no doubt raised in his mind by the Roman Church's deliberately attempting to confuse the pedophile with the homosexual. They are NOT the SAME at all! While I am still looking for more current data, the following is as recent as I have yet come across. It is incredibly important to squash the Christian right's, ( of which the Catholic Church must now be considered the primary instigator of hypocrisy ) deliberate misrepresentation of statistics simply to confirm their own bigotry.

Molester Characteristics:
One of the myths regarding child molesters is that they “look different” or behave differently from others in some way. Here are some statistics describing child molesters:

97% are male
91% are heterosexual
91% consider themselves to be religious
75% are married or formerly married
73% are Caucasian
65% earn a middle income or above
48% are college educated
The molester is not a stranger. Over 91% of children are molested by someone they know.
Stepfathers are 7 times more likely to abuse than biological fathers; however, abuse by a biological parent tends to be more severe. (A child who is abused by a biological parent is at higher risk of sustaining an injury from the abuse than those abused by a non-biological parent.)
Contrary to popular belief, only about 30-35% of molesters were sexually abused as children. (Hanson & Slater, 1988)
