	The 'Butner Study' Redux: a Report of the Incidence of Hands-On Child Victimization by Child Pornography Offenders By Michael L. Bourke and Andres E. Hernandez Awareness Center February 21, 2010 http://www.theawarenesscenter.org/ButnerStudy_SexOffenders.pdf [pdf] UNITED STATES -- Exceprt: The goal was to determine whether the former group of offenders were "merely" collectors of child pornography at little risk for engaging in hands-on sexual offenses, or if they were contact sex offenders whose criminal sexual behavior involving children, with the exception of Internet crimes, went undetected. Our findings show that the Internet offenders in our sample were significantly more likely than not to have sexually abused a child via a hands-on act. They also indicate that the offenders who abused children were likely to have offended against multiple victims, and that the incidence of "crossover" by gender and age is high.
