The main aim of this study was to examine the effect of a potential guardian on the severity of child sexual abuse. Using data obtained on crime events from adult child sexual offenders incarcerated in Queensland (Australia), mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the effect of potential guardianship on the severity of abuse. Controlling for victim and situational characteristics, the analyses showed that the presence of a potential guardian reduced the duration of sexual contact and the occurrence of penetration. Presence of a potential guardian decreased the risk of sexual penetration by 86%. The study highlights the importance of the presence of a potential guardian for reducing the severity of child sexual abuse, and suggests more broadly that guardianship may be an important protective factor in sexual offending.
本研究的主要目的是考察潜在监护人对儿童性虐待严重程度的影响。利用从澳大利亚昆士兰州被监禁的成年儿童性犯罪者的犯罪事件中获取的数据，进行了混合效应逻辑回归分析，以考察潜在监护对虐待严重程度的影响。在控制受害者和情境特征后，分析表明，潜在监护人的存在缩短了性接触的持续时间并减少了性侵插入行为的发生。潜在监护人的存在使性侵插入风险降低了86%。该研究强调了潜在监护人的存在对于减轻儿童性虐待严重程度的重要性，并更广泛地表明监护可能是性犯罪中的一个重要保护因素。
