Putin says gay visitors to Sochi Olympics must "leave children alone". Does that mean he's OK with heterosexual child molesters?

Putin sticks his foot down his throat yet again. Seems this guy would need some serious sensitivity training to get along in politics in the Western world. I think every civilized nation on Earth has laws prohibiting adults of any sexual persuasion from sexually abusing children. Any Olympic athlete or attendee who rapes any child should spend a good long time in a Russian prison, enough said.

It seems to me that in singling out Olympic attendees who are gay, Putin is just putting the ugly specter of Russian homophobia into the public spotlight yet again. What’s your take on his statement?
