"WHAT PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES CAN MARK OUT A PEDOPHILE?

The latest study found that paedophiles have more physical flaws known as Minor Physical Anomalies (MPAs).

MPAs can include low-set ears, a furrowed tongue, a curved fifth finger, a third toe longer than the second toe and an excessive gap between first and second toe.

The researchers pedophiles were more likely to be left-handed, have non-detached earlobes and a high palate.

Previous research has found paedophiles tend to be between 10 and 15 IQ points lower than average. They are also typically 2.3cm shorter in height than a typical male."

I work in a prison and have viewed lots of pedos in my years doing classification and records work. There's no pedo type. They come from many walks of life. Some are even attractive. You'd just never guess.

Having said that, many are not attractive. But i think this idea that we can spot them that easily is false and highly dangerous. You really can't. Sorry.

It certainly is dangerous to profile a group of people as likely criminals based on their physical features even if they are innocent of any crime.

I agree with your assessment. I didn't say I support the article, just interesting. If anything, it is misinformation.
