What is the base rate of pedophilia among humans?

I cannot stop thinking about this. So many celebrities and people in high positions of power have been caught diddling or wanting to diddle kids. Why? What makes it so that so many people of this status are p-dophiles? Furthermore, what % of normal people want do diddle kids? I cannot think of anyone in my life who seems like they're pedos. Nobody has ever made weird comments about kids or anything. Are these people famous because they're pedos? Is there something about fame that makes people want to diddle kids? I cannot wrap my head around this. Biologically speaking, being into kids makes no sense because they can't reproduce. Morally speaking, children should not know about s*x, much less have to be forced into s*x and/or have pedos in their lives, because they're kids. Is this biological and social pressure negligible for p-dophiles? Sorry im drunk but pedos make no sense to me and I hate them and cannot understand the most nonsexual beings (kids) having some sort of sexually attractive component

There has been research about this. It's generally between 1 and 5% of men in estimates iirc. Women are p-dophiles at much much lower rates. I also recall reading that like 3% of IP addresses in the US access CP in any given year. I'm guessing some of those are just deranged coomers looking for taboo porn but not true p-dophiles. I'm also going to assume there's a small amount of pedos that don't consume CP as well & just use their imagination due to fear of being caught, moral issues, etc.

This is rather worrying/interesting information! Given that it's that high, I wonder if neoteny has something to do with it
