Even if there's some truth in that -- and I agree with the others here who have pointed out the likelihood of selection bias -- it doesn't actually bear on the question of whether greater availability of CP makes the consumers more, or less, likely to abuse children. Supplying these people with computer-generated CP -- maybe even giving them some ability to generate scenarios to their liking -- might give them a way to release their urges in fantasy, reducing their desire to act them out. I know, it sounds disgusting. But if it turns out to actually work, I think we have to set our disgust aside. If not, well, back to the drawing board.
