NO! Its the perv's fault, entirely. Probably gone thru his whole life with people makinmg excuses, and enabling his behavior, but its still all his fault; no one else.

Why not? That is what everyone is doing these days. I had sex with my 10 yo daughter but it isn't my fault. I was abused as a child by my so-and-so. Isn't that why we developed psychology/psychiatry? To find someone else to blame for your misdeeds?
Jodee Massina has a song titled "My Give a Damn's Busted"
Well you filled up my head with so many lies
You've twisted my heart 'til something snapped inside
I'd like to give it one more try
But, my give a damn's busted
You can crawl back home, say you were wrong
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long
Go ahead and water the lawn
My give a damn's busted
chorus:
I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, sorry, nothing
You can say you've got issues
You can say you're a victim
It's all your parents' fault, I mean after all you didn't pick em
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen
My give a damn's busted
Well your therapist says it was all a mistake
A product of the Prozac and your codependent ways
So who's your enabler these days
My give a damn's busted
Chorus:
I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, still nothing
