It's because the people in power are into that sort of shit. Pedophilia is about power and control, which are the same attributes that capitalism pushes to the top. Why else would you think that Epstein's black book had literally every billionaire and countless millionaires in it?

Until capitalism is abolished it's going to continue being "a societal problem"

Unfortunately I don't think we can draw a line between capitalism and pedophilia, specifically.

Though theres something to be said about people in positions of power partaking. Just look at religion.

Men with excess wealth routinely use that wealth to take advantage of vulnerable women.

It just so happens that some of these men are twisted and brazen enough to do it to children, too.

The child sex trade is big business.
