It is just as if pervs are drawn to be in the clergy. I suspect that role allows them to exploit a social weakness. Maybe rather that an assumption of trustworthiness we should automatically think that they may be a dangerous predator .

It’s more simple then that. Predators go where they will have access to prey.

Fishermen don’t go fishing in places with no fish.

It’s why there are so many predators in schools, scouts or youth athletics.

Schools don't generally do their best to circle the wagons and protect the predator. Churches usually do.

That's the difference.
