    Read your sources again. I’m not sure the are saying what you think they are saying. It says they were the victims (emphasis not dismissal) of sexual abuse before puberty. Not the perpetrators. Again, it’s scientifically disingenuous to extrapolate an observation of a extreme bias population like incarcerated inmates to the whole population. This is why academic research is full of disclaimers and qualifiers.

      Yes, that’s exactly what I thought it was saying and my point, and there’s similar numbers in other studies.
