In applying behaviors of subgrounps to the entire population, the important question is COMPARED TO WHAT. What part of the population is committing what part of a particular offense?
I accept the statement that not all homosexuals are pedophiliacs. So pedophiliacs are a smaller proportion of the population than male homosexuals. The conclusion I am about to state would be even worst if that unknown difference was known.
Best information is that practicing homosexuals are about 5% of the population. Therefore, if they commit 5% of the child abuse, they are just as likely -- no more no less -- to abuse children than heterosexuals. Since the real proportion of abuse is 27%, you know from the cold statistics, not from this study, that homosexuals are at least 5 times as likely to abuse children as heterosexuals.
There can be any amount of quibbling that how MUCH more likely homosexuals are to abuse children. But there is zero doubt that they are more likely to do this. That is exactly why it is dangerous to let homosexuals get into positions of trust around children -- teachers, recreation leaders, scouts, etc.

What is also important is that the mass media will NOT report these numbers, but will simply state that heterosexuals commit more child molestation than homosexuals. They completely disregard the size of the groups.
The greater prevalence of child molestation among homosexuals should not surprise anyone. Much of the reason people engage in homosexual activity is because they have already made the decision to break social and moral taboos. Once an individual decides that it's okay to do this, they pretty much feel free to have sex with anyone whom they find sexually desirable.
