Why would boys be more likely to be victims of sex abuse when gays make up less than 10% of the population? It just doesn’t make sense. Unless of course, you factor in how some hetrosexuals rape women, but as this is harder for would-be homosexual rapists to do with other grown men, they use boys instead....

I know I have read in many places that studies show ephebophiles (homosexual men who attack pubescent boys) are small in number, but they often commit HUNDREDS of attacks. That’s why it is not unusual to hear about one attacker molesting literally 200 or 300 boys in two or three decades.

We aren’t talking about the general population, we are talking about the Catholic priesthood, so figure a lot more than just 10% homosexualists attracted to male teens.

Within the Catholic church, the majority of those having an offense committed against them were young men.

This is what is being referred to in this article. As for the society as a whole, I simply do not have enough info regarding that to make a judgment call in regards to homosexuals being the biggest offenders.
