In 1938 Karol Wojtyla started studying in the University Jagiellonski, which was closed down in the beginning of the World War 2 by the Germans. He then worked in a quarry (1940-1944) and in the "Solvay" chemical factory in order to avoid being deported to Germany. During WW2 Karol Wojtyla was also studying in a secret Catholic seminary and was active in an "underground liberation movement" in a "Rhapsody Theatre".

he also wanted little boys that would "help" him with his study

because he went around the world and helped people

The accusations are not that the the pope himself abused children, but rather that he (and the Catholic church in general) was lax (careless) when priests (at a lower level) committed child abuse.

There are two Pope John Pauls: the name of the first before he became pope was Albino Luciani. The more more famous John Paul II's baptismal name was Karol Wojtyla. Benedict XVI's was Joseph Ratzinger. Like a woman who takes her husband's name upon marriage, the new pope takes a religious name which then becomes his "real" name from that point onwards although when the pope signs legal documents he likely must sign his birth name since other religious, like monks and nuns who take religious names, must use their birth names on secular, legal documentation.

Pope's are elected by a conclave of cardinals voting for a candidate. Cardinal Karol Wojtyła was chosen on October 16, 1978. He took the name John Paul II.

Just a quick addition: He was elected after the 33 day papacy of Pope John Paul I who died suddenly in his sleep due to complications of an undiagnosed heart condition (it's considered by some that John Paul I died from a heart attack). 1978 is sometimes referred as the "Year of 3 Popes" because Pope Paul VI (elected in 1963) led the Church until his death in the summer, than the first conclave elected Cardinal Albino Luciani as Pope John Paul I, followed by the second conclave in October elected Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II who closed out the year and reigned until 2005.
