Mmm? Do you have a source for that? It could well be true, I've just never heard that statistic before.

From http://www.goodtouchbadtouch.com/abusefacts.php
Quote:
Approximately 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 7 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18 (Finkelhor, 1994). However, when one includes incidents of non-contact sexual abuse, the rate is much higher. Some researchers estimate the rate to be as many as 62.1% of females and 29% of males are sexually abused as children (Fergusson & Mullen, 1999).
So if more girls are being sexually abused, but most acts of pedophilia are male-male, then that would mean that that 1 out of 7 males must get passed around more than the girls do.
