Paedophilia is like a disease in epidemic proportions - more noticeable amongst those who have some form of power over others. Whether they be police officers, priests, teachers, taxi drivers, Boy Scout "leaders" or politicians. Celebrity and aristocratic heritage has also proven to be a hot bed of these predacious creeps who just can't keep their lowly instincts under control or even think about the repercussions of their actions.
The worst are those with power in society as they have a long history of their tracks being covered by those further up the chain. Being compromised they become puppets on a string to the shadow masters.
Ted Heath was a British Prime Minister, protected by the intelligence services, and supplied with boys from "care homes" by Jimmy Savile. The children were taken to Heath's yacht and dumped into the ocean after Heath had done his damage. Heath died unchallenged and unpunished and yet he would have been surrounded by staff at all times. How is it that some people live so far above the law's that apply to the rest of society? They must have been very useful to the ultimate rule maker's.
