I've seen studies that estimate as much as 1/3 of all homosexuals men pursue teenage boys.

What age? Age of consent for males is lower in many states than for females.

I think males chase females as young as legally possible too.

The studies I saw defined "teenager" as boys under 18 but past puberty. Over 90% of the sex abuse scandals in the Church have involved such boys. There were a few invovling girls of such age or pre-pubescent children, but they were very rare.

The crisis is not mainly a pedophelia problem because pedophelia is defined as attraction to pre-pubescent children. While there were a few cases of actual pedophelia in the Church, and Gagan was one of them, over 90% of the victims were post-pubscent boys.
