The association between perpetration of sexual abuse and the offender's own victimization as a child has been well documented in the literature. Various researchers have examined this relationship by assessing the exclusiveness of the sexual abuser's behavior, the gender of his victims and the gender of his own childhood abuser. This study was designed to assess the differences between pedophiles and hebephiles in features of their own childhood victimization. Subjects were 135 pedophiles and 43 hebephiles who admitted to their offences. A total of 42% of pedophiles and 44% of hebephiles reported being sexually victimized in their own childhoods. Pedophiles reported being molested at a younger age than hebephiles. Both groups appear to chose their age specific victims in accordance with the age of their own experience of sexual victimization. Although the cause of child molestation remains undetermined these results support social learning and modeling theories.
性虐待行为与犯罪者自身童年时期遭受侵害之间的关联在文献中已有充分记载。众多研究者通过评估性虐待者行为的排他性、其受害者的性别以及自身童年时期施虐者的性别来研究这种关系。本研究旨在评估恋童癖者和青春期前儿童恋癖者在自身童年受害特征方面的差异。研究对象为135名承认犯罪的恋童癖者和43名青春期前儿童恋癖者。共有42%的恋童癖者和44%的青春期前儿童恋癖者报告称自己在童年时期遭受过性侵害。恋童癖者报告称遭受性骚扰的年龄比青春期前儿童恋癖者更小。两组似乎都根据自己性受害经历的年龄来选择特定年龄的受害者。尽管儿童性骚扰的原因仍未确定，但这些结果支持社会学习和模仿理论。
