In the USA/West, there are the Jefffrey Epstein's, and Princes's, and Gary Glitter's of the society. The queen's relative, Mountbatten was known to receive boys from children's homes in Ireland. You might recall the singer Sinead O Conner getting a horrible amount of blowback for daring to expose the sexual abuse of boys (and girls too) , by priests and bishops in the Catholic church.

So can you stop with your culturing othering posture? Because this is not Afghani men, and their 'barbaric cultural practice', but zillions of men, cross culturally who take advantage of their powerful position in society, and they get away with it, by and large. There is just much more hypocrisy in the West. FFS policemen and politicians in the UK have been found with tons of child pornography. Why not call that a cultural practice? A journalist was killed in London, for trying to expose this.
