Released in April of this year and co-authored by Drs. Ryan and Richard Hall, A Profile of Pedophilia: Definition, Characteristics of Offenders, Recidivism, Treatment Outcomes, and Forensic Issues is in response to the increased public awareness of pedophilia and to educate physicians regarding the issue.
So, what's in it exactly? Nothing that could help Nigel. Nothing that could help any of them actually. Let's look at some of the highlights which interestingly enough reflect our position on the issues here at AZ.
It includes the types of sexual acts pedophiles may engage in with children listed by types of paraphilias...exhibitionism etc.
Generally, pedophiles do not use force to have children engage in these activities but instead rely on various forms of psychic manipulation and desensitization (eg, progression from innocuous touching to inappropriate touching, showing pornography to children)Sound familiar?
A US Department of Justice manual for law enforcement officers identifies 5 common psychological defense patterns in pedophiles:
- denial "Is it wrong to give a child a hug?"
- minimization "It only happened once"
- justification "I am a boy lover, not a child molester"
- fabrication "the activites were research"
- attack "character attacks on the child, police etc"
The article continues with diagnostic criteria for pedophilia and gives this information from a study by Gene Abel
40% of child molesters, who were later diagnosed as having pedophilia, had molested a child by the time they were 15 years old. An estimated 88% of child molesters and 95% of molestations (one person, multiple acts) are committed by individuals who now or in the future will also meet criteria for pedophilia. Pedophilic child molesters on average commit 10 times more sexual acts against children than nonpedophilic child molesters.It then talks about categories of pedophiles, exclusive or nonexclusive and homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual.
Heterosexual pedophiles, in self-report studies, have on average abused 5.2 children and committed an average of 34 sexual acts vs homosexual pedophiles who have on average abused 10.7 children and committed an average of 52 acts. Bisexual offenders have on average abused 27.3 children and committed more than 120 acts. A study by Abel et al of 377 nonincarcerated, non–incest-related pedophiles, whose legal situations had been resolved and who were surveyed using an anonymous self-report questionnaire, found that heterosexual pedophiles on average reported abusing 19.8 children and committing 23.2 acts, whereas homosexual pedophiles had abused 150.2 children and committed 281.7 acts.Wonder why they would under report? Is this article saying that's typical behavior for a pedophile to...what....lie?
These studies confirm law enforcement reports about the serial nature of the crime, the large number of children abused by each pedophile, and the underreporting of assaults. Studies that used self-reports and polygraphs show that pedophiles currently in treatment under report their current interest in children and past behaviors
Then it goes on to discuss incest:
Federal data show that 27% of all sexual offenders assaulted family members. The study by Abel and Harlow found that 68% of “child molesters” had molested a family member; 30% had molested a stepchild, a foster child, or an adopted child; 19% had molested 1 or more of their biologic children; 18% had molested a niece or nephew; and 5% had molested a grandchildLet's look at that a moment, as one of the favorite "statistics" that pedophiles love to toss around is that 90% of all child molestations are not committed by pedophiles. They got that information from an unethical journalist, but claim it came from an expert in the field. David Alway aka Lindsay Ashford is the one who started that deceitful propaganda, while all the little pedo heads nodded in unison as it spread like wild fire through their community. Having witnessed Ashford repeat that statistic with my own eyes, and having seen the media fail to follow up with that, you have to wonder why. Why do they allow that statement to stand? Because they don't know....it doesn't sound right, no but not having devoted their life to the issue well no, they haven't read the literature.....It's not pleasant reading that's for sure. They know it doesn't sound right but they have a creepy little pedophile sitting in front of them spouting off statements as FACT and the result is that the statement ends up hanging there in mid air. This is what they want.
Can't you just see Lindsay now? Digging, digging deep down into the bowels of the internet to find one sentence......NOT backed up by what the author actually said I might add and suddenly it's EVERYWHERE! Pedophiles are all aware of this statement. Lindsay even edited Wikipedia and added it there. Just goes to show you that something doesn't have to be true to make it into a Wiki entry. Yet only a handful can tell you where it came from and not a single one of them will be honest with you and tell you that it isn't true after the deception was uncovered HERE
The other little trick they try to pull (and unfortunately it worked on pedophiles) is to try to claim that the difference between a situational versus preferential means something different than what it really means. These were two terms coined by Ken Lanning to aid LEA in understanding how to investigate CSA cases. There's a very interesting post regarding the pedophiles misinterpretation of this Lanning report located HERE
Concerning the above they routinely fail to understand when they make the statement that most abuse is committed by family members, is that number 1 that's a false statement, number 2 just because someone is committing incest does not mean that they are not a pedophile. The studies they link to showing the numbers of abuse do not address the question of whether or not the perpetrator is a pedophile. And in fact Ken Lanning stated in his report that this was one of the biggest mistakes law enforcement make when investigating a case involving incest when they assume that there are no other victims but one.
I'll have to come back to this Mayo article later as there is simply too much to fit into one post. I do think you will find it valuable reading though should you care to take the time with it. It includes heavy referencing of the work of Dr. Gene Abel who conducted one of the largest, most comprehensive studies to date and was subsequently labeled a crackpot by none other than the dad-beating boy-luster BlueRibbon. It also references the expert Ken Lanning who was libeled and defamed by a child predator known as Lindsay Ashford....The result being? Now the entire pedo community believes the great Lindsay lie.
This is just one more example of the dangers of pedo congregation, and I'll leave you with a perfect example. We talked about an Australian report HERE, we explained how pedophiles had misinterpreted that report........there is no doubt about it. And yet HERE we have JD420 stubbornly continuing to make the same pedo-lie to new people. Pedo activism....purposefully deceiving....proliferation of lies with a sinister ulterior motive---gaining sexual access to children.
JohnDoe420 is the very epitome of why. Why places like AZ exist...... and just as importantly why we will not stop.

Pedophilia is the most significant cause of child molestation.
