Molesters should stop using the excuse that they themselves were molested as a child. It’s not an excuse. They should seek therapy, not other children.
Reminds me of a joke going around: someone asked a ger what made him become Jewish. He answered because he was molested as a child by one of his people.
People use this excuse all the time. They go OTD or do other bad stuff, but they have zero excuse.
We can all find excuses if we really want.
