I hope I don't start being suspicious of all left handed people. He ones I have known all seemed pretty normal.

Short, lower IQ and left handed. Interesting. I am only aware of one pedophile that I knew was a pedophile. His wife was a social worker and was separated from him. He could only visit with his kids if there was someone there to supervise. I saw the court order. He was a shorter guy but I don't know about the owner IQ or being left handed. I think he had been in prison.
