Female sexual abusers not as rare as widely believed

Story from the National Post here. I found the story was actually (comparatively) reasonable. It even touches upon the fact that the legal system is not reflecting what really goes on. However, the story does end with a typical quote from a police detective:
"The predominant offender in Internet child exploitation is males," said Windsor police Det. Jason Belanger. "They're out there, but if you do get a female offender, you're surprised."
Still, if one reads carefully, it would be clear that quoting a cop is not a good source.
If someone can find a contact e-mail for the author, Sarah Sacheli, it might be worthwhile to send a note commending the story but questioning the inclusion of the quote from the police officer.
