Does sexual abuse occur in Christian Churches?
Sure it does. Often the pastor getting caught with a hot looking chick. Or even the your minister with an under aged girl.
In the Catholic Church? It’s a priest with a 10 year old boy.
You tell me which is worse. You tell me which happens more often.

In my limited experience, sexual sins in evangelical circles are either consensual between adults and dealt with by the families and the church, or are rapidly prosecuted, not swept under the rug for decades.
Not always of course, but far more so than the systematic hiding of perpetrators by Catholic hierarchy.

I don't think God makes a distinction and that the latter dynamic is likely more common than you realize in non-Catholic contexts.
But regardless:
The most telling indicators of twisted desires rampant among the general and Christian populations are the stats on *porn* viewing and addiction. Porn is what is killing the Body of Christ according to some major voices in Evangelicalism. It is especially killing men.

older teenage boys.
Some were pedophilia but most were not,
