Fionn says, "I was just querying what I thought was a suggestion from dianavan that it might be associated with high intelligence."

Actually, I was meant that paedophiles were often intelligent, highly manipulative and able to avoid detection as opposed to stupid and easily found out.

One of the things that always amaze those who work to rehabilitate child victims of sexual abuse is how long it takes to discover the perpetrator, and the length of time they have been committing the crimes. Yes, they are intelligent. They are also cunning.

Most criminals aren't nearly as smart.
