"most of the abuse cases were comitted by ephebophiles (men attracted to teenage boys)."
That may be true, but it's also possible that female victims and pre-pub children's cases are underreported. Teen boys tend to put up a fight when they feel violated.

The methods used with these teen boys wasn't so much violation as it was seduction. Ply them with alcohol and porn and then introduce something that feels good.
It's the old Michael Jackson routine - only with older victims.
Most of these teens didn't put up a fight so much as they held it in for years and reported it much later.
The overwhelming majority of cases reported was of this type, and it is also possible these cases were underreported as well.
Again - the problem seems to lie more with homosexual ephebophilia than pedophilia, although some of the more disturbing stories reported (Fr. Geoghan) were true pedophiles.
