Hush (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781934947616)

DID YOU KNOW? There are studies linking molestation and sexual abuse to online pornography. Statistics shows 90 percent of Predators who molest children have had some type of involvement with pornography. Research reveals that 77% of child molesters of boys and 87% of girls molesters admitted imitating the sexual behavior they had seen in pornography. In most cases, however, child molestation goes unreported. Estimates are that only 35% of sexual abuse is reported. Kids can be frightened or embarrassed and many times do not say anything. Accordingly to the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of justice statistics, on any given day there are approximately 234,000 sex offenders who were convicted of rape or sexual assault and are in the custody or control of correction agencies. Consider the following statistics: The median age of the victims of convicted sex offenders was less than 13 years old. Approximately 24% of those offenders confined for rape and 19% of those imprisoned for sexual assault had been on parole or probation at the time of the crime. In one year alone, approximately 4,300 child molesters in 15 states were released from imprisonment. Of the 4,300 child molesters released, approximately 3.3% were rearrested within three years of another sex offense against a child.
