Is it Hollywood or just pedos recognizing a target rich opportunity and gravitating to it. If children is your thing you'd want to be a position of trust with lots of time and opportunity for predation. Coaching, teaching, church, foster care, working at an Indigenous residential school, adoption etc.
I've never heard of it in the news but I'd bet juvenile detention centres have a terrible history as well. They'd be some of the most marginalized children with no support to help them get their stories out, and really no interest from the general public. Its why sex crimes against children in residential schools only recently came to light. No one cared, it was not Joe and Jane's Smith's newspaper buying publics children at risk. If people can't identify with them they don't really care about them.
Yep. These creeps are all over but we “care” about child stars because we know them.
Gymnastics trainer. Priests (of all faiths). Hockey coach. Football coach. Just a few that pop right into my head. I knew a tennis coach who is still serving time. Also a basketball coach.
Pedos exist all over, unfortunately. Many will never be caught.
Take a Safesport course through USA hockey. They go into some good detail. It used to be more harsh. They had a police photo card with 6 pics and the instructions were to pick the pedo. There was a fat, greasy, unshaven guy with thick glasses, who everyone chose. Other choices were two pretty women, a big jock looking guy, a super clean cut CEO looking guy and a construction looking guy. After you inevitably chose the greasy guy it told you that you were right, but also wrong as all six were in fact convicted pedos. Click on each and it told their story. Scary as hell.
Safesport gives you great insight into how pedis gain trust (grooming). The tennis coach I knew did it textbook style. Extra lessons for free, told the kids they’re stars in the making, go to his house for more free lessons because we’ve got something here, stay later, here’s dinner, watch some tennis videos, oops here’s some porn by accident, how’d the kid react, here’s some pedo porn, how’d they react to that…
newspaper laid it all out to try to help potential victims avoid it from others.
Hollywood has its share of pedos, I’m sure. But they’re all over the place.
