Yes, but it's still quite a bit of investment prior to getting into the position of making money and having access to children. I'm inclined to believe that many cases are of pediatricians 'discovering' something as a result of their work rather than them getting into the work because of their interest in molesting children -- at least moreso than with other professions that child abusers seek out. Of course, I can't claim lots of personal experience, especially since I don't know how early into the medical education a person would need to decide to go into pediatrics rather than general practice.

A person like this guy probably has other "outlets" like volunteering for children's activities, long before he starts or finishes medical school. Ironically, someone's involvement with children's activities is used as one measure of suitability for the person taking up pediatrics.

No way of proving or disproving in this case, of course. Getting accepted to a pediatric residency takes place after the four years of med school, during the internship period, I believe. But he would also have had unfortunate access if he had opted for standard general practice.
