Well it's a bit complicated. All NOMAPs are MAPs, and most MAPs are non-offending, buy that could be just because they don't look good in stripes (old joke, I guess I should say orange nowadays) or for other more nuanced reasons than trite assertions about consent. So I guess they wouldn't fit your definition of NOMAP, despite fitting the literal one.

As you say, pedophilia is not illegal (I don't think the "in most countries" qualifier is even needed here), but it's also important to note that a large amount child sexual abuse (perhaps even the majority) is not motivated by pedophilia, but obviously remains illegal regardless.

When it comes to communities, it's true that NOMAPs (as you define them) have their own, but ironically they seem more secretive than the regular MAP communities so I've never really bothered to try and check them out. My opinion is that they're probably miserable and not fun to be around.

Finally, all pedophiles (but not necessarily all MAPs) are LGBTQ+, regardless of what corporate LGBTQ+ community tells you. Anyone who says it's not queer to be sexually attracted to little kids has some screws loose.

What would it be?

An attack of opportunity. Obviously children are vulnerable, both mentally and physically, so if someone's looking for an easy target a lot of times a child fills the bill. Or take incest, who's the most readily available victim possible? Someone who lives with you.

Here's the first article on the topic I could find. Not really the best, but it explains the basic concept.
