How correlating homosexuality
to child molestation influenced politics
– The Washington Post

I am quoted in this article on Kevin Spacey’s coming out and predatory behavior with a 14-year-old boy. 

University of Michigan psychotherapist Joe Kort wrote in 2016 that preying on minors is more about power than sexual orientation:

Rarely does a pedophile experience sexual desire for adults of either gender. They usually don’t identify as homosexual; the majority identify as heterosexual, even those who abuse children of the same gender. They are sexually aroused by extreme youth, not by gender.

In contrast, child molesters often exert power and control over children in an effort to dominate them. They do experience sexual desire for adults but molest children episodically, for reasons apart from sexual desire, much as rapists enjoy power, violence, and controlling their humiliated victims. Indeed, research strongly suggests that a child molester isn’t any more likely to be homosexual than heterosexual.
