Describe a "transition sex ring" and how someone might get involved
What will be an ideal response?
Pedophiles have a strong need to communicate with others about their interest in children. In transition sex rings experiences are exchanged, whereas in solo rings the pedophile keeps his or her activities and photographs totally secret. In transition rings, photographs of children as well as sexual services may be traded and sold. The trading of pornography appears to be the first move of the newcomer into the "possession" of other pedophiles. The photographs are traded, and the newcomers may be tested by other offenders and eventually traded for their sexual services.
