I do not want to get too far off topic here, but since it was stated that statistically more boys are victimized by sexual predators, and that those who are victims have a higher rate of offending others in that same criminal activity, what then is it that would cause boys to grow up after abuse to be sexual predators themselves but girls who have been victimized by a sexual predator do not?

Is this again that testerone at work that Jefferson speaks of as a chemical/hormonal root of the problem? (Though it can be noted, Jefferson does not make the sweeping statement that it IS the only root to the problem)

Seeking understanding,
