It clearly does, it just seems over represented as a fetish for rich people. Is there something about being rich that makes you want to be a pedophile? Or is it like, if you go to the pedophile club there are rich people in it and they spread the wealth so it becomes a pedo money network? The math doesn't add up to me.
That effect has been shown in lab studies. I dunno if a workable mechanism was proposed but the effect is strong in a lab setting. I'd imagine in a real world setting the would be worse
Most rich people are born rich, so plenty of time to be raised to believe you can do whatever you want to the poors. Like others said, I believe that being raised in an environment where you learn money fixes everything, and is mark of innate morality, I think you just kinda learn that whatever you want is okay to want. Who's gonna stop you?
Also, maybe it's a fallacy to assume every rich pedo is naturally attracted to children. We assume people have a natural repellance to harming children, but maybe that's not true when you're raised to believe that what you want is what should happen? Maybe to them, it's just fun to take advantage of humans in novel and taboo way, kinda like the perverse fun of having a slave.
I dunno! We don't study these things enough unfortunately

Correlates very strongly with sociopathy so maybe. I'm with you though, the proportion of pedos amongst the rich seems improbably high. I'd love to travel a few hundred years into the future to see what research and studies the Global People's Republic has done on the depravity of the bourgeois.

There is something about being rich that makes groups like the CIA want them to be pedophiles. Blackmail is a very effective way to control people, and pedophile rings are a great way to set them up for blackmail, so there’s a big incentive in pushing the rich and powerful (who are likely already prone to abusive/controlling behavior) in this direction.
I get that part but I don't think cracking open a boy with the cold ones is something you get peer pressured into. That one is not a little oopsie like doing a bup of coke at a party.
In addition to that encouragement I mentioned, it also seems like rich people would be less concerned about violating the law and/or social norms due to their position in society, because… Who’s going to stop them if they do? They really are above the law, so probably no one. For them, it might not be all that different than doing a bump of coke at a party.
That's the thing. Rich people got class solidarity. Maybe not everyone but you would think enough rich dads would tell their son's fraternity so that it is widely known not to trust the feds and to keep away from sex parties with a kids table.
Like, have you seen how much rich people complain about service staff? Thr stress of having the feds squeeze you over compromising pictures would have them writing terrible op eds about how they are mistreated. There are not generally robust disciplined people

I don't think it's typically rich kids who are the victims of these rings, though. It's poor kids, and they're probably taken from groups/areas/countries where people are destitute, and where people going missing isn't noticed as much.

Feds aren't going to squeeze them, especially when it's other government agencies or influential groups who are running the rings in the first place. The only pressure they might face would come from the media, and they are getting pretty annoyed with that.

I have a theory that being rich acts as a non-corporeal neurotoxin that’s dissolves the empathy centers of the brain

pretty sure mental disorders are also susceptible to being affected by environmental conditions
