“…In a sample of 584 offenders who committed Internet child pornography offenses (with no known prior or current contact sex offenses), the rate of sexual recidivism was found to be 2.7% for sexual reconvictions after 5 years, and 10.1% for sexual reconvictions after a 13‐year mean follow‐up (Elliott, Mandeville‐Norden, Rakestrow‐Dickens, & Beech, ).
