I have no doubt that men are more likely to commit such crimes. I just agree that if more was reported we'd see the stats change as far as women are concerned. It may not be 50/50, but I would guess it would be 30/70 (women/men), or possibly even higher.
Stats don't really mean much in this arena. For instance, one statistic shows that a sex offender (even the 18 year old lumped in) has had at least 7 victims prior to being caught. I'd venture to say (and so does the expert) that this is often way too high for most offenders. The true pedophiles would be the ones who have this stat while most "petty" offenders have one victim.
She has explained all the fetishes undeneath the paraphelia umbrella and most are quite healthy, it's just the phelias such as pedophelia that are dangerous. Pedophila is ranked as a fetish in the psych world and I do agree with your statement that more people once found of possessing child porn or committing an act, need to actually be evaluated for this fetish. If it is found to be a fetish then they should place them at a higher level of imprisonment etc.
