Penny: of course you're right about celibacy but I would have thought it patently obvious that abusers don't honour their vows. My guess (for which I have no statistical foundation) is that paedophiles entering the church because it offers an effective route to their prey is a bigger problem than priests being driven to paedophilia by the celibacy vows.
