Solution
The statement that is NOT true about child molesters is: "all child molesters are pedophiles". Not all child molesters are pedophiles. Pedophilia refers to a specific psychiatric disorder where an adult has a primary sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

They may engage in such behavior due to opportunity, other antisocial tendencies, or other complex factors.
