This doesn't surprise me. Men who molest children usually put themselves in places where they will come into contact with a large number of children. They also are usually very good with children (on the surface) in order to "groom" children and attract children to them. Then they look for children who are vulnerable, maybe ones who are submissive or who feel unloved, or who come from harsh homes. They give the child individual attention and affection, play with or entertain the child, get the child to trust them, maybe give the child gifts. Then when the child likes and trusts them, they make their move. My daughter's first molester played that little game of, "We have a special secret between us and you can't tell anyone, not even your parents." When my daughter told us, she was terrified of what would happen to her for telling. Then the police wouldn't do anything because it was the word of a 5 year old against an adult with no evidence or witnesses. Unfortunately, the same daughter was molested 7 years later by her best friend's father who molested his own daughter too (girls were 11 and 12at the time). That time we got a felony conviction. I never turned in the man who raped and molested me from age 5 through 12 because when my sister was raped and told, my parents told her to just forget it happened and my mother later married the rapist after my father died. I knew my parents would blame me for it anyway if I told. Its hard to tell what men are molesters because aside from the molesting, they live ordinary lives. They go to work, have wives and children, are in community activities, have hobbies and special skills, and they usually look just like anyone else. They may be church leaders, scout leaders, youth group leaders, clowns, or in a career that revolves around children. Usually they are likable people. If a man starts giving special attention to your little girl, stares at her often and tells her how pretty she is, offers to help her with homework or a hobby or to give her "extra" individual coaching in a sport, or offers to babysit her because he "loves kids"--grab your little girl and run for your lives. At the church we go to, there has to be 2 people in the room with a child or children and they have to be unrelated and can't be husband and wife. Its the same where we do volunteer work. No adult is allowed to be alone with a child of either sex. Background checks often don't help sort out molesters because most haven't been caught or turned in until they have molested many children. (I'm speaking of the kind who don't kill their victims.)
