This article provides an assessment over time of the incidence of newspaper-reported Internet-initiated sexual assaults among U.S. adolescents undergoing adjudication from 1996 to 2007. Of 812 newspaper reports of adjudicated Internet-initiated sexual assault, most (79.2%) victims were female, and the median age was 14 years. The incidence rate of these reports increased over the 12-year period for females but remained steady for males. The frequency of these assaults was much less than reported for other types of sexual assaults in this age group. These estimates hopefully will assist in a greater understanding of these assaults, aid in interventions to decrease their occurrence, and guide effective policymaking that will reduce all types of sexual assault among adolescents.
本文对1996年至2007年期间接受审判的美国青少年中报纸报道的由网络引发的性侵犯发生率进行了长期评估。在812篇关于已判定的由网络引发的性侵犯的报纸报道中，大多数（79.2%）受害者为女性，年龄中位数为14岁。在这12年期间，这些报道的发生率在女性中有所上升，但在男性中保持稳定。这些性侵犯的发生频率远低于该年龄组中其他类型性侵犯的报道。这些估计有望有助于更深入地了解这些性侵犯，有助于采取干预措施减少其发生，并指导有效的政策制定，以减少青少年中所有类型的性侵犯。
