If Germany as a nation and as a rulership gets harassed for letting real pedophiles go freely raping children left right and center, because the rapists are the right religion or race to be untouchable by the law, well, they have a problem. The problem of optics, of course! So make something ELSE punishable under the same name, of someone non-violent, non-dangerous, and not going to lead to people yelling "Allahu Akbar" in the streets while massacring hundreds for daring to interrupt their satanic play, and then the govvy can point at the stats and go "yes, lots of children were raped this year too, but look, we arrested a bunch of people under the anti-pedo act! ...None who were actually raping your children, but we arrested people!"
