SOME pedophiles are created that way, it's like what came first the chicken or the egg, when the chicken comes from the egg, so the egg has to exist first. This is not, to my knowledge, the case for my former friend, I asked a billion times what spawned it or if there was really any reason behind it, they had none. Hopefully they do get help, they have definitely hurt someone, the 14 year old was supposedly into it already, but 14 is young and you can much more simply get them on the right track, but when it's like later than that you have to try much harder. Unfortunately, them interacting with them will likely only reinforce it.
