The study found similarities to juvenile male perpetrators in both an etiological link to prior victimization as well as pattern of perpetration. These youths typically were molested by a number of individuals beginning at a young age. All victims had been molested by a male perpetrator, and 6 of the 10 by a female also. Eight of the females had been sexually aroused to one of their own victimizations, with this experience of arousal rated as particularly psychologically distressful when the perpetrator was of the same gender. Their patterns of perpetration began approximately 5 years following their first sexual victimization experience. Like their male counterparts, they tended to be repeat offenders, molested children of both sexes, and fantasized about such behavior prior to the first act of perpetration. They generally acted alone in the commission of their acts of perpetration and engaged in sexual behaviors which were relatively invasive. Tables, notes, references
