Is pedophilia hereditary?

In: Child Safety, Sexual Abuse [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, but it can be a mental illness brought on by being abused yourself or trauma to the head, but you choose whether to act on it or not. They are researching if it could be hereditary but as far as I know there hasn't been any clear proof that that would be the case.
