This is what they've been brewing for a while.  Notice how so many rank and file conservatives are all about stopping child grooming now and calling people pedophiles?  The goal is to whip up enough social frenzy and get people scared and panic that they will be able to call anyone they don't like a pedophile and have them investigated/life ruined.  They are trying to use child sexual assault to usher in a new era of McCarthyism.
