Statistically Psychopaths are no more likely to abuse a child than a member of the general population. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is the connection to child abuse. In the past there was a mixing of Psychopathy, Sociopathy and Narcissism whether this was due to a lack of information/ definition or deliberate disinformation is anyones guess.
This article is the best I have come across to explain the connection between Pedos and Narcissistic Personality Disorder: https://steemit.com/psychology/@psychopathy/what-makes-a-sadistic-pedophile
Thanks for the link. Here's a very interesting excerpt:
"Child abuse occurs because Narcissists are “AUTOEROTIC” in other words they are primarily attracted to themselves. A child who is a blood relative is the closest thing genetically to themselves and hence seen by the Narcissist as an extension of themselves. Because narcissists view others as mere extensions of themselves, like another organ or limb, when they have sex they are essentially masturbating inside another person.
Narcissists view children as an internal object (an extension of themselves). In contrast, Psychopaths view children as completely autonomous, as a distinctly different entity to themselves, like a mini-humanoid or small human robot. Psychopaths view children this way, to a greater extent than normal people do, because that’s how they themselves viewed the world in childhood. Children don't work, have limited knowledge and aren't sexually mature -so essentially they are useless to a Psychopath."
