(45,274 posts)Sorry, I'm not familiar with any studies that would justify that assertion, at least if you're talking about forcible rape of kids with Tanner scores > 3 or maybe 4. Perhaps you could direct me to the relevant literature?
Yes, there are a few cases of people who have both molested prepubescent kids and committed forcible rapes against sexually developed victims, but AFAIK these cases are relatively rare and would not seem to justify the word "many." Are you thinking, perhaps, of the Dutch study reported by Hildebrand, DeRuiter & DeVogel (2004)? That was a very aberrant offender sample--low IQ, heavily populated by psychotics, mean educational level < 6th grade (our equivalent), all of them civilly committed rather than criminally prosecuted, and even in that group, there were very few "crossover" offenders.
