Crime victim advocate and guardian ad litem here of 15 years. You are correct majority of sex offenders in same family as the victim or a “good friend” or “close friend” of the family. Pedophiles proudly hide in plain sight.

Courts requiring pedophiles to be on the sex offender registry is key to disallowing them access to children, live near schools or work in professions allowing access to children.

I don’t have the words to express the encouragement/permission and support religious leaders give to those in their orbit sexually abusing children. Deny/deflect/distract/remain silent on the matter. No accountability of any kind and they certainly don’t report to law enforcement.
