The main objective of this research is to study the relationships of offense-supportive cognitions and sexual fantasies with sex crime. The research involved 48 men: 26 convicted of sexual offenses against minors and 22 convicted of sexual offenses against adults from different prisons in the Community of Madrid, Spain. We used the RAPE Scale and the Sex With Children Scale to evaluate offense-supportive cognitions and an ad hoc adaptation of the Multidimensional Developmental, Sex and Aggression Inventory to evaluate sexual fantasies with minors and sadomasochistic fantasies. The results show that both groups present similar offense-supportive cognitions, while each group had significantly more sexual fantasies related to their specific crime. Participants who had sexual fantasies about minors presented significantly more offense-supportive cognitions justifying child sexual abuse than those who did not present these fantasies, while participants with sadomasochistic fantasies did not present more offense-supportive cognitions about rape. After collecting this information, we ran four mediation models to assess potential relationships between fantasies, offense-supportive cognitions, and specific sexual crime. The mediation models showed that both sexual fantasies with minors and sadomasochistic fantasies had direct relationships with sex crimes. Upon further confirmation with studies with larger sample sizes, our findings support the importance of dealing with sexual fantasies in treatment of people convicted of sexual offenses and imply a need for differentiated treatment, since the content of sexual fantasies was different in each group.
本研究的主要目的是探讨支持犯罪的认知和性幻想与性犯罪之间的关系。该研究涉及48名男性：26名因对未成年人实施性犯罪而被定罪，22名因对成年人实施性犯罪而被定罪，他们来自西班牙马德里自治区的不同监狱。我们使用强奸量表和与儿童发生性行为量表来评估支持犯罪的认知，并对多维发展、性与攻击量表进行了专门改编，以评估与未成年人有关的性幻想和施虐受虐幻想。结果表明，两组的支持犯罪的认知相似，而每组与各自特定犯罪相关的性幻想明显更多。对未成年人有性幻想的参与者比没有这些幻想的参与者表现出明显更多的支持儿童性虐待的支持犯罪的认知，而有施虐受虐幻想的参与者在强奸方面没有表现出更多的支持犯罪的认知。收集这些信息后，我们运行了四个中介模型来评估幻想、支持犯罪的认知和特定性犯罪之间的潜在关系。中介模型表明，与未成年人有关的性幻想和施虐受虐幻想都与性犯罪有直接关系。在通过更大样本量的研究进一步证实后，我们的研究结果支持在对性犯罪定罪者的治疗中处理性幻想的重要性，并意味着需要进行差异化治疗，因为每组中性幻想的内容不同。
