Twenty cases were evaluated in which allegations had been made of children being involved in ritual sexual abuse (RSA). A selection of case histories are presented together with a summary of the salient points in the other cases. Using a standard format developed for assessing the validity of allegations in sexual abuse cases, it was concluded that false allegations of ritual sexual abuse occurred in three-quarters of the cases and true allegations only in one-quarter. This high rate of false allegations is unlike the author's clinical experience in other cases of child sexual abuse where the rate of false allegations is much lower and similar to other published series. Reasons for the high rate of false allegations are discussed.
对20起涉及儿童遭受仪式性性虐待（RSA）指控的案件进行了评估。现呈现一系列案例记录以及其他案例的要点总结。采用为评估性虐待案件指控有效性而制定的标准格式，得出的结论是，四分之三的案件中仪式性性虐待指控为虚假指控，只有四分之一为真实指控。如此高比例的虚假指控与作者在其他儿童性虐待案件中的临床经验不同，在其他案件中虚假指控率要低得多，且与其他已发表的系列研究相似。文中讨论了虚假指控率高的原因。
