Even if 4% of adults are sexually attracted to children that doesn’t mean that they are going to abuse children. There are guy’s in this communities who are sexually attracted to women but who never had sex and also wouldn’t rape a woman just to have sex.
If it’s clear a rationalist that abusing a child will mean that he get’s expelled from the community in which he lives and might face legal challenges than I think most of the people in this community wouldn’t act on a system I desire to engage in sexual abuse because their system II is strong enough to think through the situation.
Practically that means that it’s important to have an environment where open communication happens so the expectation that a child will communicate about situations with whom they are uncomfortable exists.
I think a lot of abuse does happen in environments where that open communication is lacking and a child will stay silent about abuse.
