ABSTRACT : Pedophiles and child molesters share some characteristics. MOst are male, and they can be heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Some prefer adult sex partners but choose children because they are available and vulnerable.The sexual abuse perpetrated may be a 1 time incident and may consist only of fonding. Penetration is unlikely with young children. Perpetrators ages range from teens to midlife. Most victims are girls, and the perpetrator usually is a relative, friend, or neighbor. The home of the victim is often the setting for incident. When boys are victims sexual abuse may take place outside the home, and perpetrators may be strangers. Perpetrators of sexual abuse of children often claim that hey themselves were victims of childhood sexual abuse. Psychological profiles are helpful but are compromised partly because many perpetrators are prisoners and control groups are lacking for this research. 56
