      Except Stephens is correct. It would be exceptionally rare for a pedophiliac to molest a single time (and Soon Yi was 19 when their affair began)https://twitter.com/gregmitch/status/962182008939171840 …

      The Smearing of Woody Allen by Bret Stephens https://nyti.ms/2BOqkbP  The key "only abused her once" quote: "If Allen is in fact a pedophile, he appears to have acted on his evil fantasies exactly once. Compare that to Larry Nassar’s 265 identified victims."

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Brian D. Earp, Ph.D.

      I think that's just factually wrong. Psychologists who study pedophilia say that many of them don't act on their impulses, let alone become serial abusers:https://twitter.com/briandavidearp/status/929162824018006016 …

      My thoughts on why saying "Roy Moore is a pedophile" is likely to increase, not decrease, the risk of sexual harm to children. pic.twitter.com/QrI8IQNO2Z

      Huh? Isn’t the accusation against Allen that he DID act on those desires, not suppress them?

      Replying to @speechboy71

      Right, but there's no reason to think that a pedophile has to be a serial abuser rather than someone who doesn't act or acts only once. These are all possibilities.

      Replying to @HeerJeet

      No, that’s not right. It would be very unusual for someone with a pedophilia disorder to act on it only once. That quote from Earp doesn’t say what you’re trying to argue

      I'll try to find my source for this, but I'm pretty sure that the spectrum isn't never acts and serial abuser. One time acts or one victim also occurs.

      Replying to @HeerJeet @speechboy71

      There are different types of sexual abusers of children, and not all who abuse children are pedophiles. Incest abusers are often not pedophiles, and it is quite common for them to abuse only within their own families or others brought into the family.

      Please do NOT make declarative statements about childhood sexual abuse and the patterns and typology within the phenomenon if it is not your area of expertise. I have an MSW and worked in the field with a focus on childhood sexual abuse for 20 years.

      Replying to @leahmcelrath @HeerJeet @speechboy71

      Pedophiles have a primary object choice with regard to their sexual arousal: pre-pubescent children. They are aroused by the *absence* of secondary sex characteristics. Incest abusers are typically not pedophiles.

      Replying to @leahmcelrath @HeerJeet @speechboy71

      Incest abusers are typically heterosexual men whose primary object choice for sexual arousal are sexually mature women. They sexually abuse the children within their immediate sphere for reasons having little to do with sexual arousal.
