Uhhh...they are molesting people of the same sex. Marrying women won't help that.

No, of course not. Telling a homopedophile that he's now free to marry an adult woman, achieves nothing. However, IN THE LONG RUN, it is conceivable that allowing married priests would allow many sexually normal individuals to be recruited for the priesthood, who now would never consider it solely because a vow of celibacy is out of the question for them.
The Orthodox have always allowed priests to marry, and have had no sodomy scandals that I know of. On the other hand, Anglicans also allow priests to marry, and they seem to be overrun with homosexuals. So marriage isn't necessarily a cure-all. But it might help.
