Behind The Bastards made a very interesting observation:

In almost every society, the rich and/or powerful get so used to not being bound by the law, that they effectively push themselves to break more laws to see what they can get away with. It inevitably ends with them being pedophiles.

Robert Evans has said that he doesn’t know if powerful people are actually pedophiles or if they are simply drawn to the power that they can become pedophiles without any consequences. But he also says it’s a difference without a distinction.
