Internet-initiated sexual abuse: Adolescent victims’ reports about on- and off-line sexual activities

Leander, Lina,1977Gothenburg University,Göteborgs universitet,Psykologiska institutionen,Department of Psychology (author)

The purpose of this study was to investigate how adolescent girls, who had been sexually (on- and off-line) deceived and abused by an Internet hebephile, reported about these acts. As we had access to documentation of 68 girls' conversations (chat logs) and involvement with the perpetrator, we were able to gauge what the victims reported during the police interview against this detailed information. In contrast with findings from previous research, the majority of the victims reported about the off-line activities with the perpetrator. However, the victims omitted and/or denied more of the on-line activities, specifcally the more sexual on-line acts (e.g. participating in sexual web shows). There is probabaly a gap between what the victims reported and what they presumably remembered about the on-line activities.
