Nonsense.
It’s like saying masturbation leads to sex.
Sex crimes do not occur because people masturbate. They don’t even occur because people don’t masturbate. This is a ridiculous connection.
Children need to be raised by parents. They love their parents so much and try hard to be good people. The farther away kids grow up from parents, the less time the parents care for them, kids don’t have quite the same ease at developing morals.
If we worry about sex crimes, we need stronger parental supervision and to keep poor kids who can’t afford children from hooking up etc. the stronger the family the better chance of not raising criminals.
Sex crimes are violent crimes and only a certain person devoid of morals becomes a violent criminal.
False correlation, with all due respect.
And frankly, since masturbation does create a focus on self-gratification (being one of its expressions), it is a contributor to illicit behavior on many levels.
