Male Perpetrators

Within a geographically defined population of 710,000, 31 child sex rings were identified by the police during a 2-year period. A total of 47 male perpetrators aged 16 to 82 years and 334 children aged 4 to 15 years were involved. The perpetrators usually operated alone or in pairs. Three rings were expanding and developing into semicommercial enterprises, however and four or more men participated in them. Children acting as ringleaders recruited victims for the perpetrator in 22 rings, usually in exchange for money. The offenses reported included fondling and masturbation (30 rings), oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse (21 rings), and production of child pornography (two rings). In addition, two adolescent prostitution rings involving 12- to 18-year-old boys were investigated by the police. During the 2-year period these sex rings accounted for 4.6% of all cases of child sexual abuse reported to the police and 6.6% of the subsequent prosecutions.

In recent years, the law in the area of recovered memories in child sexual abuse cases has developed rapidly. See J.K. Murray, “Repression, Memory & Suggestibility: A Call for Limitations on the Admissibility of Repressed Memory Testimony in Abuse Trials,” University of Colorado Law Review, 66 (1995): 477-522, at 479. Three cases have defined the scope of liability to third parties. The cases, decided within six months of each other, all involved lawsuits by third parties against therapists, based on treatment in which the patients recovered memories of sexual abuse. The New Hampshire Supreme Court, in Hungerford v. Jones, 722 A.2d 478 (N.H. 1998), allowed such a claim to survive, while the supreme courts in Iowa, in J.A.H. v. Wadle & Associates, 589 N.W.2d 256 (Iowa 1999), and California, in Eear v. Sills, 82 Cal. Rptr. 281 (1991), rejected lawsuits brought by nonpatients for professional liability.
