Female Sex Offenders (stats from a British study)

• 86% of survivors of sexual abuse were not believed when they said the abuser was a woman.
• most people believe women only molest children when coerced by a male; in fact research shows that women often take the lead
• Women commit 25% of all child sexual abuse
• despite the seriousness of these offences, women generally escaped custodial sentences
• It was more traumatic to be sexually abused by a woman - children feel more betrayed, they feel very angry, they feel the woman should have cared for them, should have loved them instead of abusing them.
• Victims often report excessive force equivalent to if not greater than that of a man
• Half the women in a recent survey of 50 convicted female sexual abusers said they derived sadistic pleasure from inflicting pain onvictims
• they often acquire a position of trust
