I would like evidence that police actually use the tools and evidence they already have. There are currently more than 25 thousand rape kits in the US alone that have not been tested.
That is the entire answer for "is there any interest in solving sex crimes". If the police do not have the time or the money to do the most basic work possible having already made rape victims sit through the incredibly invasive process of taking the rape kit, why should we think that anything that gives them access to the content of people's devices is going to be used for any kind of sex crime inquiry?
Police do not care about sex crimes. CSAM detection is just their new angle to get unfettered warrantless access to everyone's data. Europol representatives have already explicitly stated that that's what they want this for.
