for comparison.
I mean there should be a comparison if the list is to mean anything.

There are quite a few charges, conservatives love making lists, but not as many as for Republicans and I could find few underage charges on the Democratic side.
Granted my search is nothing near to being definitive but it does seem like pedophile urges are much stronger in conservatives.

I don't have time to collate and analyze the shockingly and depressingly long list of offenses so these are just my impressions. But from what I can tell, sexual misconduct is rampant amongst the powerful regardless of party. No surprise there.

However, Republicans charged with sex based offenses do seem to outnumber Democrats by a noticeable margin. Republicans charged with sex based offenses seem to outnumber Democrats by a significant margin. Someone with more time than I have would have to crunch the numbers to come up with anything concrete. Analyzing what the numbers mean would probably make for a good sociological study.

that Republicans, and conservatives generally, are so intent on controlling other people's behavior because they assume that everyone shares their own poor impulse control.

Those who are overly insistent about something, to the point where the opposite is most likely true.

Democrats aren't angels, but we aren't the ones going around preaching about "family values" and trying to police everyone else's sex lives either.
