I was always lead to believe they are different. Incest being tied to a family, where as a paedophilia will prey on any child. Both sick, but they might not be tied together.

CE or Fable might know what the chances of someone who commits incest, turning to paedophilia. I personally believe the chance would be high...given the job of the person as well. Someone who commits incest and has (looking for word)...'entrance' (avaiblity) to children, I believe would turn to paedophilia.

Few people who commit incent, also commit pedophilic acts towards other children than their own...it's usually two different types of disturbances. Victims of incest however are overrepresented in criminals who hav committed pedophilic crimes. It is not known why, but there are many hypothesis around.

To me, few crimes are so upsetting and abhorring and difficult to accept as sexual abuse, violence and murder of children. Pedophilia is much more common that people in general believe, but very few pedophiles are also actually violent.

For the two British girls, I knew this would happen. When two so young girls disappear without leaving note to the parents and no kidnapperers demand anything, then you just know that the children are most likely to be found dead.

I'm have a lot of work now so I can't post a lot, but if anyone has questions about incest, pedophilia and sexual abuse of children, I will do my best to answer those questions later. I am good friends with the Swedish forensic psyhciatry people who specialise in this area, so apart from being a shrink myself, I often get to hear the latest research and finding in this field from them.
