Shorter men are more likely to be sexually attracted to children than their taller peers, according to a new Canadian study of the biological roots of paedophilia.

This is likely the result of exposure to "pre-birth conditions" that affected paedophiles physical development, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health reported in Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment.

"This research does not mean that paedophiles are not criminally responsible for their behavior," said lead researcher James Cantor.

"But the discovery of biological markers for paedophilia has important implications for future study and possibly treatment."

By analysing the files of over 1,000 men who were assessed for paedophilia or other sexual disorders in Toronto between 1995 and 2006, researchers observed that paedophilic males were two centimetres shorter on average than males who were not sexually attracted to children.

This height difference is a trait found in other illnesses with biological links, similar in scope to the shorter height associated with schizophrenia or Alzheimers disease, the researchers said.

The same scientific team previously found that paedophiles "have lower IQs, are three times more likely to be left-handed, failed school grades significantly more frequently, and suffered more head injuries as children."

I think the real reason is right there.

What a silly study lol

Whos to say women dont just find taller men more attractive so they get more ass and are therefore less inclined to take advantge of kids.  2 cm shorted gives you a higher tendency towards paedophilia?

sounds like nonsense tbh.

you must be a short person then.

nah about average but Im the paedophile that breaks the rule

Reports like this are honestly just a waste of money. Cant those scientists be helping cure cancer.

I did a study myself the other day that said fat people have a higher chance of preferring beef to lamb.

Maybe they just had a midget in the group who threw the averages off
