I already have, but let's clear this up.

The 5 had all said there was a specific problem with BPs in this offence, and that it derived from attitudes to females, courtship and marriage practise. It had been reported in all the media.

Don challenged me to say if I believed in a cultural explanation.
Not wanting to duck the question, I answered honestly that I did believe but only because I believed the 5.

I consciously left out any reference to paedophilia because no-one had suggested that was an issue.

I was not making a case for the explanation.
My case was and is just the over-rep, but I was asked directly by Don for my belief.
