Pedophilia is "like a sexual orientation" therefore unchangeable in the eyes of those seeking this deviant sexual practice.
This is at least one of the assumptions outlined by Hubert Van Gijseghem, psycholégal psychologist and expert work in the research and expertise on sexual abuse since the early 70s.

Although, at first, he knows that this avenue may shock people, even those working in the field, it remains that all pedophiles he met during his career, spoke their deviance as a good orientation inked them.

"If homosexuality is an almost exclusive attraction to the same sex as themselves, and if heterosexuality is almost exclusive attraction to a person of the opposite sex, and of pedophilia means that the individual has an attraction almost exclusively for the boys, "said the specialist stating that he would not be cast stones.

"Sexual orientation is that it will change? Not. Pedophiles who were interviewed in qualitative research have all admitted that they never change their orientation "dropped the researcher met with nearly a hundred of pedophiles throughout his career.

"They can be controlled or abstainers, but they can not change their essential nature and while some, after years of psychotherapy come to end, they will inevitably begin to be something else," said the psychologist to various specialists who were ahead for the international conference on the sexual exploitation of children and excessive behavior that stood in Charlevoix midweek.

For example, he told the story of one of his former patients who want to become fails after realizing that "love" it was their children was, in reality, very bad, s is committed to research a subject specific beauty.

"He has traveled the world to collect the small cherubs with little childish faces all round buttocks. He had hundreds of these little angels in which all his money and his power disappeared! ", Said the expert stating that obsession had ultimately taken the place of another.

However, surprisingly, and has no connection with the patient Mr. Van Gijseghem when the Sûreté du Québec landed at Camil Girard, in December 2010, they found, inside the home of pedophile dozens of small cherubs baby-faced ... "Pure and hard"

All child molesters, very few match the profile of the "hardcore" pedophile, in fact, between 15 and 20% of abusers are actually.

These figures are derived from years of practicing psychologist and expert psycholégal Hubert Van Gijseghem.

According to him, the pedophile is part of a group of child molesters and is distinguished by certain characteristics.

"The pedophile as a child, had access to a highly eroticized atmosphere. It was the little boy that all places were allowed and even had the opportunity to get into a great intimacy with the mother, giving the impression that everything was allowed "then explained the specialist stating it was his own hypothesis.

For various reasons, if the child could not get out of this phase, it is as an adult, to keep her sense of "omnipotence" and that "everything is still allowed to" invest in young boys as object of love.

"In fact, this man is in love with himself and with the small child he was and it satisfies this need for love in projecting into the child he wants," said Mr. Van Gijseghem.

"The pedophile is one of those sex offenders who do not physically hurt the child. He did not feel especially hurt the child! "Said the psychologist.

According to his theory, the true pedophile dream of being a mentor to the child that he is targeting.

"Pedophiles say they love children! According to them, they care and they spoil! They would even have a lasting relationship with the child so with themselves, but unfortunately, it can not because the child invariably grows and pedophile, he must change the target ... "has mentioned Mr. Van Gijseghem public attention
