  • - The study focused on men with pedophilic or hebephilic disorder who sought therapy, examining their long-term risk of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and use of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) after treatment.
  • - Follow-up assessments showed a high rate of recidivism for CSAM users (89.1%), while only 7.7% re-offended in CSA, indicating ongoing risks especially related to CSAM.
  • - Though treatment improved empathy and reduced some supportive attitudes towards offending, these benefits can diminish over time, highlighting the need for ongoing support and a comprehensive public health strategy to prevent reoffending and enhance mental health for affected individuals.

Institute for Sex Research, Sexual Medicine & Forensic Psychiatry, Center for Psychosocial Medicine, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistrasse 52, D-20251, Hamburg, Germany.

Purpose Of Review: Web-based programs to prevent sexual offense perpetration could provide an opportunity that avoids many of the barriers associated with in-person treatment. The aim of this systematic review is to give an overview of the literature on web-based initiatives aimed at sexual offense perpetration prevention published during the last 10 years (2013-2023) and to report data on the efficacy as well as issues of the discussed initiatives.

Recent Findings: We included 18 empirical studies discussing web-based perpetration prevention initiatives, of which six are randomized controlled trials.
