For what it's worth, my understanding of what he said is the same as yours.

Thank you. If only there was some way for them to consider the reality of how one can set out to avoid sin and fall in, again and again over one's life. Even though one did not set out to spend one's life repeating the same mistakes.

I can't think of any way to bring the subject up, to make them think of it. Oh well.

One might question the state of salvation in a person like this. You're talking about someone who is involved in a really bad sin, not stealing a paper clip. And yes stealing the paper clip is wrong also, all sin is to God, but to man the act of sexually abusing children is REALLY bad, and if a person has problems with that over and over again, well he might not be saved in the first place.
