One comment in the quote is relevant to this poll discussion as it mentions a possible link between adolescent abusers and exposure to sexually explicit material.

In response to other posts trying to educate people on the different profiles of child molesters, I quote the following.This is one of many resources available, based on research of the different types of child molesters.

From http://www.indianngos.com/issue/child/sexual/resources/types.htm

Types of Child Sex Offenders

Preferential Child Molester

Preferential Child Molesters have a definite sexual preference for children. Their sexual fantasies and erotic imagery focus on children. They have sex with children not because of some situational stress or insecurity but because they are sexually attracted to and prefer children. If this individual does not act on his urges, then he is not a child molester.

Situational Child Molester

Situational Child Molesters do not have a true sexual preference for children, but engage in sex with children for varied and complex reasons. This type of molester may engage in sex with a child, ranging from a once-in-a-lifetime act to a long-term pattern of behavior. The more long-term the behavior is, the more difficult it is to distinguish from a preferential molester. Members of lower socioeconomic groups tend to be overrepresented among situational child molesters.

Adolescent Offenders

An area of increasing attention is that of adolescent offenders. This type of offender can fit the characteristics of the preferential or situational child molester. Adolescent (or younger) offenders should always be viewed as past or current victims of sexual abuse. This may include psychological sexual abuse, inappropriate exposure to sexually explicit materials, and/or the repeated or inappropriate witnessing of adult sexual activity.
