People who were molested as children tend to become molesters. That is why the prevalence of pedophiles keeps going up. And now, with the internet, they are able to prey on even more children than they used to, so rather than a simple, linear, increase over time, it's probably an exponential increase now.
I've followed the psychology of abuse since the 90s, and at this point I like to say: "Evil reproduces through sexual (and other abuse)", and I mean it in an absolute, literal sense.

And that exponential increase is why it has to be stopped NOW!
