review from Garland 1990

Langevin et.al. (1985) examined the prevalence of self-reported childhood sexual behavior with adults for non-offenders, for incestuous offenders of female children and adolescents, and for nonincestuous offenders of female children and adolescents. These researchers found that 4% of the nonoffenders, 21% of the incestuous offenders, and 10% of the nonincestuous offenders reported adult/child sexual contact with adult males during childhood. Additionally, 15% of the nonoffenders, 24% of the incestuous offenders, and 41% of the nonincestuous offenders reported adult/child sexual contact with females four or five years olders than themselves during childhood.
