Lots of reasons but it’s generally by women who lack a partner or don’t have thier emotional needs met. They don’t feel threatened by the child and confuse thier mentor/pupil relationship as love and as such doesn’t see thier abuse for what it is.
Source? I’m sorry, but that kind of sounds like you’re letting female sexual abusers off the hook a bit by arguing their actions are innocent in their own minds. I don’t think these women are that stupid or deluded. I agree they find boys non-threatening, but I don’t think they construe their own manipulation of a young, naïve teenager as completely innocent. They know they’re taking advantage, they just don’t care.
