It is Sodom and Gomorrah all over again. Read how this evil spirit compelled them to defile the purity of God. Why did Lot offer his virgin daughters? Because he knew what spirit drove those people - was driving them to their own destruction. But while virgins would have been a valued prize before those angels showed up, with their presence on the scene nothing else besides defiling them was possible... the angels knew that and acted accordingly.
That spirit will drive these people to their destruction... but we may well have to suffer in the meantime.
It *can* — must it? The manifestation of Christ can stop such things or significantly slow them down.
