Q: Do adolescents commit sexual abuse?
A: Yes. Adolescents (ages 13-17) account for approximately 35% of all sexual offenses against minors (Finkelhor, Ormrod, and Chaffin, 2009). Males account for 90-95% of sexually abusive acts engaged in by adolescents (Finkelhor, Ormrod, and Chaffin, 2009). Data show that the majority of these youth do not continue sexually offending into adulthood (Caldwell, 2010).
