I’m not trying to witch hunt on anyone nor will I use this to inform witch-hunts in the future, it’s just something I am wondering about.
Also forgive the use of “ephebophile,” I’m not using it in an apologist sense but because - when formulating my question - I was more thinking about people attracted to teenagers.
you dont just snap, he likely had those pedopheliac urges way before showing signs, he just suppressed up until that relationship, he probably did those things in secret at first, like watch illcit material online.
Yes, I believe that as well. I mean “snap” as in “no longer able to hold back the urges and hold up the facade”
