Re: sexual orientation influence on perpetration rates

Go to the Missing/Exploited Children website at www.missingkids.org: 
there is a terrific book for $5 that can be ordered or downloaded for 
free "Child Molesters: a behavioral analysis" that answers your 
question. Also, US Dept of Justice site--publications--several 
articles again downloadable for free. (Two of my favorite sites). 
Most child molesters and abductors are heterosexual, not homosexual. -
