It would be an interesting study to discover how many people who were part of the pedophile rings were also masons.
It would certainly be quite revealing, although I'm not sure how such a study could be conducted. One could probably find out if
convicted
sex offenders were freemasons, and if the percentage was statistically significantly higher than the percentage of freemasons among the male adult
population then further study might certainly be merited.
Probably about 2-3% of the adult male population are freemasons - this would be the benchmark.
But why freemasons in particular? Wouldn't it be just as valid to investigate statistical correlations between pedophilia and certain food groups or
additives consumed, or perhaps pedophilia and attendance at boarding school, or even pedophilia and interest in certain types of TV programs - all of
which would seem to be more constructive lines of inquiry.
