The child victims often become offenders...Why? According to Pia Mellody from the Sierra Tuscon Clinic, that the child victims continue the cycle in order to dump their shame. Not an intended act but a compulsion arises and the cycle continues.

This research falls under sexual addiction. A family member is a therapist and tried to educate me as she learned about sexual abuse, boundaries and such...informative.

National Center for Victims of Crime:

Cycle of Violence:

Child sexual abuse victims are also at risk of becoming ensnared in this cycle of violence. One expert estimates that forty percent of sexual abusers were sexually abused as children (Vanderbilt, 1992).

In addition, victims of child sexual abuse are 27.7 times more likely to be arrested for prostitution as adults than non-victims. (Widom, 1995). Some victims become sexual abusers or prostitutes because they have a difficult time relating to others except on sexual terms.
