I disagree with the power and control. Those tend to be attributes of rapists. These guys actually identify children as their preferred sex partners. Rape is about power and cotrol. Child molestation is about sexual identity. They don’t rape the boys in most cases. They groom them, become a trusted friend, and then violate the friendship by taking advantage of the child. The make of the rapist and the molester are very different. (Not that there aren’t child rapists. But these kids are often abducted, raped, and dumped in the bushes someplace.) Rape and molestation are very different crimes and each as creepy as the other for very different reasons.
