3. Some excellent points here. Although, in all honesty

there are a few Americans of the Democratic Party who have been apprehended through the years, as well.

I think we see more Republicans engaging with children, in that kind of non-equal relationship. But then, one of the worst cases of all was John Wayne Gacey, not only a pedophile, but a child serial murderer as well. I'm pretty sure he was active in local Democratic Party politics, although never held an elective office.

Pedophilia does have that dynamic of inequality of status, man and young girl or boy. As we know, many pedophiles were heterosexual married men, who only engage sexually with young boys because of that dynamic of inequality, power over another human being, and simply that young boys are more apt to be found in the company of adult males, through sports, hobbies, scouts, etc., more than young girls are.
