It is preferred that Muslim Imams should be married, according to my husband. Of course, marriage doesn't necessarily guarantee that a man will never desire sex with children. (eg fathers abusing their offspring, in spite of having a wife)

I agree with Nigel above - paedophiles craftily seek out certain professions/volunteering/sports coaching etc positions in order to gain access to children.

I have read that some paedophiles convince themselves that their victims actually 'love' them and enjoy the sex. An idea I find particularly sickening.

I once refused to give a newly-released sexually-abusing father of twin girls in my class an interview about their educational progress unless my headmistress was present. (He was forbidden to live with them of course after his release)
He sat there saying how much he 'loved' his daughters and was 'so proud of them'. I felt sick. He must have read our faces, but he was as brazen as they come. The twins were 12 years old, so his sentence must have been fairly short. They should have thrown away the key. Or shot him.
