I'm not seeing that quote in the article, so it's hard to determine the methodology, but...

1. One pedophile may victimize many children.

2. There's a spectrum of victimization; that wording would seem to include things like being pressured to send nudes.

It doesn't. It implies only an upper bound. Teen on teen counts as sexual violence against children.

No, because (a) the term "pedophile" properly applies to young children, to whom any sexual attraction is rightfully disturbing, not minor-age teenagers for whom sexual attraction is completely normal, but sexual contact is illegal due to reasons of power dynamics and consent ability, and (b) the stat does not distinguish adult perpetrators from child perpetrators.

It's a pandora's box of horror, if you dare to begin research it. We all need to though, otherwise it won't stop.

Here's an Australian Senator talking about a list of top level government people & politicians that are on a list that so far no one has investigated. (The list was sealed from publication by a Prime Minister for 90 years) https://youtu.be/t_FsQCxfb7k

I've seen videos of people laughing at the camera after having just killed a child while being raped. The man was a white American. This is happening in every country.

You'd think pedophiles would probably find more than one victim during the course of their "career". Like even if they just go after one victim a year, that adds up.
