My understanding is that perpetrator sexuality has little to do with the gender of chosen victims in child sexual abuse. If Annie was four years old and Sam thirteen at the time, I don’t think attraction to women played much of a role either way.
Obviously pedophiles are much more likely to sexually assault children than teliophiles are, and from what I’ve heard pedophiles are more likely to have no particular preference (or only weak preferences) for whether their victims are male or female. But pedophilic child molesters tend to have strong preferences for children, which is in tension with Sam Altman being attracted to adult men.
Alternatively I’ve heard that some teliophiles molest children out of opportunism, but that seems somewhat counterintuitive to me (in order to see children as a sexual opportunity, wouldn’t they need to be attracted to them?). It’s less counterintuitive if we’re talking about teens (sexual attractiveness to teliophiles tends to gradually increase due to age, rather than suddenly spiking up at the age of consent), but that doesn’t square with Annie being four years old. I’m pretty sure this type of child molester tends to have a correspondence between their preference for adults’s sex and their preference for children’s sex, but I also think their preference for children’s sex is weaker than their preference for adult’s sex.
These explanations are all making reference to the perpetrator’s sexuality, though of course in much more complex and nuanced ways than gay/straight/bi.

Ehh, idk.
