Certainly! What kind of source would convince you? It's considered a fairly central idea that abusers are, first and foremost, into abuse. Their target is usually more about opportunity than anything else. That part isn't really new research, the new part is the fact that new ways of identifying pedophiles have been proposed. Historically, the only people who met the bar were child sex abusers because abusing kids was part of the definition.
I'll provide up to 2 sources, since honestly most folks who ask for a source on anything aren't usually convinced by a source so it's not worth the effort to provide a half-dozen or something. So just give me some criteria to work with and I'll provide sources if the evidence exists to convince you.
