Pedophiles are a special kind of psychopath/sociopathic personality. They know that their sick attraction to children is wrong but they do not care. They usually work on their support system for years, achieve positions in power, will publicly be gracious, generous and the like. Meanwhile in secret they are abusing children. When confronted they deny, deny deny unless its the end of the road then they express false regret and remorse and say how ill they are to avoid jail time or retribution. Having been a victim, they will try to destroy you and discredit you through any means possible if you publicly accuse them. It is truly evil, they are truly evil.
