See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Ballpark guess?

Theres no stat like that I'm aware of.  Mostly because there is no accurate count of how many pedophiles there are (assuming you mean diagnosed).

I do wonder though if diagnosis is really the criteria used (as it should be) if there is SOME kind of statistic.

I'll use my own case here to make a wild guess.  Keep in mind this is only a guess.

In my time in therapy groups I've met four other pedophiles who were voluntarily in treatment like myself.  They hadn't committed crimes but were there on their own.

Out of the five of us total I'm aware that two of them later acted out.  One of the two infact had already acted out but lied about it in group (and passed a polygraph) and was then arrested with a 12 year old in a car with his pants down.

The other one was diagnosed a pedophile (young girls) and he was later arrested for fondling his granddaughters (he was in his 60's).

So using that "example" case study of five people including myself the number of pedophiles that offend would come in at 40%.

Keep in mind this is hardly accurate but its a ballpark figure.
