I think, like rape, it's a lot to do with power and control, the "taboo" of being a pedophile, and the adrenaline of "getting away with it" (at least for the time being) that also drives people to be pedophiles.

Although, I do remember reading that it's not very uncommon for women who were sexually abused as children to have "sexually intrusive thoughts" about kids. However, it did also say that for most of them those thoughts came very early and went away by ~18. I'm not sure if that answers any of your questions, or just gives you more questions lol.
