Well I agree that that's a huge risk, but apparently they don't even have the manpower to round up all the pedophiles

Having children early is a different demographic, teenagers with teenagers or young adults. Pedos are older people targeting teenagers, which I'm not sure has any significant evolutionary advantage. If anything, young women would be better off looking for young men, and vice versa. I'd argue pedos is a socially constructed phenomenon, powered mainly by power disbalance, not an evolutionary one.

Many sociopaths are not limited by their lack of empathy and are able to navigate the systems of society with ease in ways that people with morals simply can't or won't. As a result, it seems likely that a very high proportion of the people historically and currently in powerful positions are in fact sociopaths. Our systems were never designed to defeat sociopathic tendencies, in fact they tend to reward them. And now that the sociopaths are in power, they begin to realize that nobody can stop them, and they become even more brazen as they make sure the systems reward them even more, and make systems that will never stop rewarding them.

I wonder how many of the Trump-Epstein Class are serial killers. We already know for sure many of them have blood on their hands

Is it that surprising? Age play is a thing, plus so much porn has actresses dressed up to look like a child for some reason (the reason is people are into it). It's just that, same as any other fetish that will harm people if acted on, 99% of that 1.5% are just gonna be normal about it and not diddle kids.

And the numbers are definitely higher than that, because most people aren't going to admit they're pedophiles to a survey.

I just don't get it. At 23 I had to break up with my 18yo girlfriend after like a month because "awesome, 18 year old tail" very quickly became, "she's still a child, I feel gross."

This is good, and I'm glad he's being charged. I hope Norway continues this trend.

That being said, I feel like there's something odd about being proud of charging a rapist (granted, he is a rapist in power so him being charged is a very good thing) when there are people like the former prime minister who probably raped kids (he's under investigation, time can only tell what will happen there).

Idk, it seems like a hollow victory — my sense of justice is telling me that so so much more needs to be done, and it needs to be done yesterday.
