Well, for one thing, the cases you see on the news are only the most 
sanitary and controversial of the incidents.  Fit to print, as it were. 
Further, they are the most sensational from a social interest point of
view, 
such as when a supposedly trustworthy or glamorous figure is exposed. 
This 
would include religious, educational, or political figures, as well as the

occasional pop star.

The vast majority of pedophile activity is tawdry, revolting, and ugly,
not 
at all like the cases you see on TV, which are merely shocking and 
salacious.  People don't want to know about it in detail on the nightly 
news.  Most would prefer not to know about it at all.  So, if you are 
relying on the public news broadcasts, you are getting a very skewed
picture 
of the situation.
