I don't think it was society, but more so a bias in media to portray paedophiles with co-morbid psychopathy as THE paedophile. In reality most satisfy themselves with cartoons, fanfics, etc. and only rarely is there also co-morbidity enabling them to harm children. Certainly not an expert though, and mainly citing my first year psych professor.
