Not every pedophile is a rapist.

I found numbers for Germany. An estimated 250.000 men are pedophiles. Out of a population of give or take 80 millions.

The problem isn't that every pedophile acts on his impulses. As a heterosexual man I don't go out molesting and raping every woman striking my fancy. And gays don't go out molesting and raping persons of their own gender. It's the same with pedophiles. As has been said, most won't even be noticed.

But there's another side to the problem. We all consume porn in one way or the other. There's no denying that. For pedophiles consuming porn is in itself a crime, since someone has molested or raped minors to produce the material for their gratification.

Not necessarily. There's loli and shota con. While it's utterly disgusting from my point of view, they're still just drawings. Surely that and a sex toy would curb them from hurting real children?

I know you're in the United States where images like that are legal but Loli and Shota, along with any other form of cartoon child pornography is illegal over here in most parts of the UK since around 2009.

The Coroners and Justice Act of April 2009 (c. 2) created a new offence in England and Wales and Northern Ireland of possession of a prohibited image of a child. This act makes cartoon pornography depicting minors illegal in the UK

My country (Scotland) is apparently excluded from it though.
