I would have thought most victims of child sex abuse were girls, though I don’t have the statistics to back this up....

I don’t have the numbers at my fingertips, but IIRC, it’s not even close.

IIRC, the figures bandied about are that around 25% of female children/teens are abused sexually and about 10% of male children/teens.

Yet despite this overwhelming trend in the general population, the typical abuse victim in these cases is a adolescent (not pre pubescent) male abused by an adult male.

Conclude from that what you will.
