I need to hear more about that.
I’ve been thinking that Oklahoma takes that award.

The app he used is a public dating app. But certain spots bring certain audience. For instance, younger people don’t tend to use Facebook dating or plentyoffish because(the girls particularly) didn’t appreciate the much older matches.
So this dating app that he is on tends to be frequented by younger crowds. Now wherever young girls congregate you can be sure that men wanting younger girls will follow.
This app is not “used by pedophiles” but they connected the dots and phrased it that way to illicit a hateful response. It gets clicks and shares.
I have experience in this industry as I know two of the people who are at the heart of the online singles game. They are the founders of smut and “get rich off of stupid loser men” multi billion dollar industries (and yes they are billionaires).
The relationships of the porn industry and dating sites are foundational. The same scumbags are at the center of each. Trace company ownership of each platform if you wish but the real people sit on a council-of-sorts. A cartel.

Kik has been reported as being used by 40 percent of American teenagers based on the company’s own figures cited in reporting from 2016.
A separate source from a 2016 defense training document says 57 percent of Kik’s monthly active users were ages 13–24, which is a broader youth bracket, not teenagers only.
If you want the most direct answer to your question, the figure most often cited is 40% for teenagers.
