Childhood sexual abuse has often been implicated in the etiology of adolescent sex offending behavior. Victimization rates in the literature vary according to whether data are collected prior (22%) or subsequent (52%) to treatment. Previous research suggests that the incidence of sexual abuse varies as a function of victim age and gender. Sexual abuse histories were collected from 87 adolescent male sex offenders following an average of 13 months of clinical interactions. Offenders were categorized according to the age and gender of their victims; groups were comparable in age and socioeconomic status. It was found that 75% of adolescent offenders who ever assaulted 1 male child reported sexual abuse in comparison to only 25% of those who assaulted female children, peers, or adults. Results suggest that sexual victimization may be an important explanatory variable for adolescent sexual assaults against male children.
童年期性虐待常常被认为与青少年性犯罪行为的病因有关。根据数据是在治疗前（22%）还是治疗后（52%）收集，文献中的受害率有所不同。先前的研究表明，性虐待的发生率会因受害者的年龄和性别而有所变化。在平均13个月的临床互动后，从87名青少年男性性犯罪者那里收集了性虐待史。根据犯罪者受害者的年龄和性别对他们进行了分类；各群体在年龄和社会经济地位方面具有可比性。结果发现，曾袭击过一名男童的青少年犯罪者中有75%报告遭受过性虐待，而袭击女童、同龄人或成年人的犯罪者中只有25%报告遭受过性虐待。结果表明，性受害经历可能是青少年对男童实施性侵犯的一个重要解释变量。
