Child Molesters: People
built 214 days ago
In recent years, antigay activists have routinely asserted that gay people are child molesters. This argument was often made in debates about the Boy Scouts of America's policy to exclude gay scouts and scoutmasters. It ... was raised in connection with scandals about the Catholic church's attempts to cover up the abuse of young males by priests. Indeed, the Vatican's early response to the 2002 revelations of widespread Church cover-ups of sexual abuse by priests was to declare that gay men should not be ordained.

When most people imagine a child molester, they picture some ugly, old man in a trench coat coaxing children to come to him in exchange for some candy. They don’t picture Uncle Joe or Aunt Lorraine, the neighbor next door, the friendly parishioner, another family member, or trusted co-worker. They don’t think of mom or dad or in the case of single parents their significant other. This misconception has been effectively dispelled through information obtained in thousands of child sexual abuse investigations over the years. Child molesters come from all walks of life and from all socioeconomic groups. They can be male or female, rich or poor, employed or unemployed, religious or non-religious or from any race.

Cheit surveyed newspaper coverage of people charged with child molestation in Rhode Island. The study revealed that only a small percentage of people accused ever had their names published. Fewer articles detailed actual cases. "Most articles are about arrest and arraignment. Very few are about actual outcomes," Cheit said.

As a matter of principal every politician and Military Officer responsible for this atrocious criminal act against their own people should be serving time beside such people in the prison system as murderers, rapists and child molesters. Justice will not be served until that day arrives.

There is "no evidence that someone choosing to live a lifestyle that precludes sexual relationships has any bearing on them becoming a child molester," says Gail Ryan of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado-Denver. "Many people don't have regular sexual relationships, and they don't go out and molest children."
