Official sexual and nonsexual offense histories and confidential self-report data on sexual offending were obtained on 207 adult males serving sentences for sexual offenses against children (98 intrafamilial, 72 extrafamilial, and 37 mixed-type offenders). The mean self-reported age when offenders first had sexual contact with a child was 32.2 years (median = 31 years; range = 10-63 years). The mean age at first conviction for any offense was 30.5 years (median = 27 years, range = 12-66 years), and the mean age at first conviction for a sexual offense was 37.3 years (median = 37 years; range = 15-76 years). Sixty-nine percent (n = 143) of the combined sample had at least one previous conviction, and 80% of these (n = 114) had first been convicted for a nonsexual offense. ANCOVA revealed a systematic pattern of onset with first convictions for any offense preceding first sexual contact with a child. Taken together, results indicate that, in general, adult child molesters (a) begin sexual offending in their 30s, (b) have already become involved in nonsexual crime by the time they first have sexual contact with a child, (c) are criminally versatile, and (d) vary considerably in their persistence with respect to both sexual and nonsexual offending.
我们获取了207名因针对儿童的性犯罪而服刑的成年男性的官方性犯罪和非性犯罪历史记录，以及关于性犯罪的保密自我报告数据（98名家庭内部犯罪者、72名家庭外部犯罪者和37名混合型犯罪者）。犯罪者首次与儿童发生性接触时自我报告的平均年龄为32.2岁（中位数 = 31岁；范围 = 10 - 63岁）。首次因任何犯罪被定罪时的平均年龄为30.5岁（中位数 = 27岁，范围 = 12 - 66岁），首次因性犯罪被定罪时的平均年龄为37.3岁（中位数 = 37岁；范围 = 15 - 76岁）。在合并样本中，69%（n = 143）至少有一次先前的定罪记录，其中80%（n = 114）首次被定罪的是非性犯罪。协方差分析揭示了一种系统性的犯罪起始模式，即首次因任何犯罪被定罪先于首次与儿童发生性接触。综合来看，结果表明，一般而言，成年恋童癖者（a）在30多岁开始性犯罪，（b）在首次与儿童发生性接触时就已经涉及非性犯罪，（c）具有多种犯罪类型，并且（d）在性犯罪和非性犯罪的持续程度上差异很大。
