They deliberately mislead and lie by quoting bogus or irrelevant statistics and linking to Lanning’s report. Here are some examples:
I*Love*Green*Olives said
Most (90% to 98%) child molesters are "situational offenders" who
abuse children because of stress or because they need a "power fix".
Lanning said p. 5
Except for child prostitution, most sexual-exploitation-of-children cases in the United States involve acquaintance molesters who rarely use physical force on their victims.
Clayboy said
Most abuse is perpetrated by "situational offenders"; people who are not inherently attracted to children but use them because they see it as a convenient outlet and they are desperate.
Lanning said p. 37
Although a variety of individuals sexually abuse children, preferential-type sex offenders, and especially pedophiles, are the primary acquaintance sexual exploiters of children.
Lestat said
Again, no, that is why child molesters that ARENT attracted to children molest children.
Lanning said p. 39
A high percentage of acquaintance child molesters are preferential sex offenders who have a true sexual preference for children (i.e., pedophiles).
Lindsay Ashford, in his Wikipedia article on paedophilia, linked to the Lanning report and said:
most perpetrators of it [child sex abuse] are in fact not primarily interested in children.[28]
Lanning said p. 70
They [pedophiles] believe what they want to believe.
On the little girl lover forum, infinity said
Most of the people who sexually abuse kids are not peds, nor do they even have ANY sexual attraction to kids.
Lanning said p. 47
The majority of offenders who simultaneously sexually victimize multiple children are acquaintance child molesters, and most acquaintance child molesters who victimize multiple children are preferential sex offenders.
ILGO said it has been repeated over and over again that 70-90% of children who were abused were so done by family or other adult known to themselves and their parents.
He even shows a graph and a link to it. He's attempting to deceive you. The graph is concerning child neglect. Of COURSE it's going to be 90% parents.......DUH
What he doesn't link to within the same study is the table which shows that of all child sex abuse cases only 2.6% are committed by parents.
2.6%
With Lindsay Ashford leading the way, these paedophiles looking to change public opinion, wanting to get the door open just a crack to tolerance of their beliefs, and on their way to the ultimate goal of abolishment of age of consent laws ........are being deceptive. It appears that they've done their homework......you only learn the truth when you read the actual studies themselves. You can't take statistics about child neglect and apply them to sex abuse. And you can't tell a flat out lie about what someone said while linking to them and not be discovered sooner or later.
