Abstract: | We examined police occurrence and criminal records data for a sample of 201 registered male child pornography offenders originally
reported by Seto and Eke (Sex Abus J Res Treat 17:201–210, 2005), extending the average follow-up time for this sample to 5.9 years. In addition, we obtained the same data for another 340
offenders, increasing our full sample to 541 men, with a total average follow-up of 4.1 years. In the extended follow-up of
the original sample, 34% of offenders had new charges for any type of reoffense, with 6% charged with a contact sexual offense
against a child and an additional 3% charged with historical contact sex offenses (i.e., previously undetected offenses).
For the full sample, there was a 32% any recidivism rate; 4% of offenders were charged with new contact sex offences, an additional
2% of offenders were charged with historical contact sex offenses and 7% of offenders were charged with a new child pornography
offense. Predictors of new violent (including sexual contact) offending were prior offense history, including violent history,
and younger offender age. Approximately a quarter of the sample was sanctioned for a failure on conditional release; in half
of these failures, the offenders were in contact with children or used the internet, often to access pornography again. |
