re: Jared Fogle Blames Subway for his Pedophile issues

Not all of them, but a large portion of pedophiles were in fact victims themselves at one point. That traumatizing event can and does screw with people's brains distorting their sense of what is and isn't appealing sexually later in their lives.

I've seen statistics showing 1/3 pedophiles claim to have been sexually abused. They're also finding that the etiology is more and more natural causes the more they research. This is a perpetuated misnomer.

They report that their findings suggest that there are one or more neurological characteristics present at birth that cause or increase the likelihood of being pedophilic. Straight out of wikipedia.

Think about it logically, if it were due to environmental causes, CBT and support groups would more likely be successful treatment options.
