Effet du genre des victimes parmi les consommateurs de pédopornographie et les auteurs de viol : étude exploratoire et résultats préliminaires

This exploratory study compares the distinctive characteristics of individuals who have consumed child pornography and those who have committed rape. The sample consists of 212 men who have reached the age of majority and have been convicted of a sexual offence. All were followed up in 2022 for therapeutic guidance by the Centre d’Appui Bruxellois. Of these 212 men, 48 had been convicted of child pornography consuming and 100 of rape. Socio-demographic, criminological, victimological and psycho-diagnostic data for all participants were extracted from the court files. This comparison offers crucial perspectives for the development of prevention strategies and therapeutic guidance specific to these sub-groups of sexual offenders.
