Eh. Mostly right. Given that pedophilia is, by definition, sexual attraction to prepubescent children, and given that any sexual contact with a prepubescent child is sexual assault, a pedophile sexually assaulting a child is probably about sexual attraction. But not necessarily.

But yeah, most child molesters aren’t pedophiles per se, but are assaulting children because they’re vulnerable. I don’t think that we can make any absolute claims about most pedos not assaulting children, simply because we don’t have a good grasp on how many people are pedos. I’ve heard that up to 25% of men (!!!) might have some level of sexual attraction to children, which is disturbing as fuck. (And no, I couldn’t give you a citation for that, I’m sorry. Just a weird claim that stuck in my head.)
