How to help a friend with pedophilic disorder?

I think he has trouble seeing how it will affect others negatively because he actively doesn’t see his molestation as a having effected him negatively. Does that make sense? Like he still defends the person who did it.

In regards to being depraved and evil… even if he wasn’t molested or on the spectrum, everybody comes from very drastically different lives and circumstances and that can set some back far more than others, not everybody has all their psychological disorders figured out by 18.

I appreciate the apology, I am also sorry for not communicating better and being frustrated instead of just filling in the gaps in information. I think the situation itself has caused me to be more on edge because I don’t entirely know what else I can do and being accused of being complacent touched on that. No hard feelings.
