11+ yrs reviewing thousands of sex offenders criminal files found: 100% of sex offenders were heavily involved in porn just prior to their arrest. 100% of men incarcerated child offenders were busted with heinous child porn, and had accessed it for years prior to arrest.

This is not "a study". This is a meta-analysis, which statistically pools the results of all previous studies on the subject.
