Interesting Prospective

Interesting, but a very dark road to go down, and now isn't necessarily the time for that discussion.
I was actually somewhat thinking about this before reading this article, and it's something I have thought about in the past but more specifically after I watched the long video from Rabbi Russell. After watching his video I understood that the overwhelming majority of abuse does not come from bad people.
As Rabbi Russell said, originally, when counseling abuse victims he would refer to the perpetrator as the bad person, but at some point he realized that a lot of victims would close up when that happened because 30% of victims had already abused others. Eventually he changed to referring to it in terms of responsibility so whatever happened until now is not your fault, but now that you are in therapy you are responsible for whatever happens going forward.
Without accepting the perpetrators are human beings, they are forced to hide whatever happened and make believe it never happened. It's entirely possible that all (or almost all) of CWs victims could have been saved if he would have gotten the help he needed. By vilifying it he was forced to "toughen up" and deal with it alone.
Finally, as I heard from R' Gershon Weiss, he was once talking to R' Moshe Feinstein about a bachur who was a kleptomaniac, every time he referred to it as a machla R' Moshe corrected him and said Yetzer Horah. I think the same applies here, I don't think these people are evil or sick (what they do is sick), they have a yetzer hara and left unchecked it evolves into something evil.
