This study aimed at assessing the extent to which factors associated with male child sexual offending may also be applicable to women with a self-identified sexual interest in children. Participants ( = 42) took part in an anonymous online survey covering questions about general characteristics, general sexuality, sexual interest in children, and previously-perpetrated contact child sexual abuse. Group comparisons between women who reported committing contact child sexual abuse compared to those who had not were conducted in terms of sample characteristics. Furthermore, the two groups were compared regarding the factors of high sexual activity, use of child abuse material, indication of ICD-11 pedophilic disorder diagnosis, exclusivity of sexual interest in children, emotional congruence with children, and childhood maltreatment. Our results revealed that high sexual activity, indication of ICD-11 pedophilic disorder diagnosis, exclusivity of sexual interest in children, and emotional congruence with children were associated with previous contact child sexual abuse perpetration. We recommend further research on potential risk factors relating to child sexual abuse on the part of women.
本研究旨在评估与男性儿童性犯罪相关的因素在多大程度上也适用于自我认同对儿童有性兴趣的女性。参与者（=42）参加了一项匿名在线调查，涵盖了一般特征、一般性行为、对儿童的性兴趣以及以前实施的接触儿童性虐待问题。对报告实施过接触儿童性虐待的女性与未实施过的女性在样本特征方面进行了组间比较。此外，还比较了两组在高性活跃度、使用儿童性虐待材料、ICD-11 恋童癖诊断的指征、对儿童性兴趣的排他性、与儿童的情感一致性以及儿童期虐待等因素方面的差异。研究结果表明，高性活跃度、ICD-11 恋童癖诊断的指征、对儿童性兴趣的排他性以及与儿童的情感一致性与以前的接触儿童性虐待行为有关。我们建议进一步研究与女性儿童性虐待有关的潜在风险因素。
