Weird, and sorry for veering off-topic, but I always understood a large portion of child abuse comes from inside the family core, either a father or an uncle (married to adult women). Every single victim I know was abused by their father, and I know them well enough to know it was an actual process with jury trials and lots of struggle, as opposed to "lying in bad taste" (like some MAPs and (mtf) troons do, where there's only a nebulous account of the events that reads like a shitty fanfic (ftms seems to be another story but I'm not familiar personally, I've only really seen them in the Farms)).
Of course there are groomers and opportunists and all sorts of external creeps that will target kids, but every exceptionally sordid pedo story I've heard usually had the father abusing the daughter(or daughters) with impunity for a very long time (while also abusing the mothers in some way, to round up the fucked up factor.). And abusing fathers usually lack the telltale signs like internet activism, twitters full of lolishit, troonacy or anime avatars, so they are hard to suspect until shit explodes. In fact in many cases I've seen the father being defended for being such an upstanding citizen, "clearly this is a ruse for attention from a stupid, emotional teenager!".
Feel free to disagree, I am just going with my own anecdata of cases I know, but I'm not claiming to be an expert. I'm curious as to what the actual situation is, I can only talk for the cases I know.
Oh yeah, this does happen, there is no denying that. But there is also what you just highlighted there: uncles. Stepdads who raised kids as their own. It is familal and I sound like I'm being pedantic when I'd happily throw every pedo in a volcano. But a lot just see their own literal kids (as in, I produced you) somehow as being off limit while going after another kid known to them in a position of trust - either in their community, job profession etc. Grandfathers, for example, who go on to molest their grandchildren can vary - some have abused their own children and it has been covered up because of generational shame, cultural factors and so on. Others have not but again, they are not their literal children. None of that reduces the emotional impact on a child who is the victim of this so I want to be clear on that. You are correct that a sizeable proportion of CSA and rape occurs with victim and abuser being known to each other, be it familial, community or professional. I admit that find some of these "pedo hunter" groups entertaining to watch but most of this occurs with those who are known to the individual in some context; it is far easier to manipulate and coerce the victim. In saying that I think the internet does make it easier in some ways given we are far more connected - I know anecdotally of one young woman who (when she was still a minor) was targeted by a grown man pretending to be a teenage girl her own age and it later emerged he had been doing this to other minors (both girls and boys).
Men like what you're describing don't surprise me in the slightest, they tend to be incredibly skilled at cultivating a world in which they are respected members of the community while destroying the lives of everyone behind closed doors. It is peak abuser shit designed to make their victims believe that no one will ever believe he is capable of what they describe. This is why I just find it darkly funny when people like that professor think that their "research" will do anything or tweets like the aforementioned are designed to tug on your heart strings that if you don't allow her to continue her "work", you're going to get the kiddies abused. No you aren't. Pedos are masters of illusion and will tell anyone what they want to hear including our non binary researcher and her team. It may sound cold to an observer but I am not responsible for these people's actions and the 'prevention' of this (in this context), that burden rests squarely with them,
I don't disagree with you at all, I probably didn't make myself clear.
okay now I've sperged, sorry
