What were the results of the 1998 study by Bruce Rind, Philip Tromovitch, and Robert Bauserman?
a. Numerical age should not be used to define whether sexual interaction occurred between an adult and a child; rather, one's sexual maturity should be used instead.
b. Most children of sexual abuse are partially responsible for the abuse taking place because of their specific mannerisms, vulnerabilities and tendencies to display signs of sexual maturity at an earlier age than most other children.

d. The mothers of children who were sexually abused by their fathers are just as culpable as the fathers themselves, even if they were consciously unaware of the abuse.
