A common characteristic of those who sexually abuse children is that they:

a. Pressure the victim into secrecy.
b. Are usually unemployed and unmarried.
c. Are unknown to victims and victims' families.
d. Have many victims that are each abused only once.


ANS: A
Sex offenders may pressure the victim into secrecy, regarding the activity as a "secret between us" that other people may take away if they find out. Abusers are often employed upstanding members of the community. Most sexual abuse is committed by men and persons who are well known to the child. Abuse is often repeated with the same child over time. The relationship may start insidiously without the child realizing that sexual activity is part of the offer.
