Many new surveys have been developed to assess the prevalence of online sexual abuse. An important type of question asked in many of these surveys is about online sexual solicitation. However, not all sexual solicitations of children necessarily qualify as sexual abuse as it has conventionally been defined. Sexual solicitations from other same age youth may be legal and nonabusive. Solicitations of youth above the age of consent by adults may also be legal. At the same time, many true online sex offenses may not be identified with questions about solicitation wanted or unwanted. This article reviewed 25 online sexual abuse survey reports. It also examined episodes and narratives from the U.S. National Technology Facilitated Abuse (TFA) survey, which asked about online solicitation and other online sexual offenses. Among the surveys reviewed, 9 of 25 elicited and counted online sexual solicitation from adults only, but the rest counted other youth solicitors as well as adults. Eight of 25 asked about only “unwanted” solicitations, but the rest had no such qualification, possibly including solicitations with positive or neutral reactions. Analysis of the TFA survey showed that in over half of solicitation episodes, the recipients did not actually know the age or identity of the solicitor. Very large differences in prevalence rates can occur depending on what types of solicitation are counted and how missing information is classified. Recommendations are made about classifying and reporting on findings about online solicitation.

何时对未成年人进行在线性引诱被视为性虐待？受害者患病率调查的建议


已经开发了许多新的调查来评估在线性虐待的普遍性。在许多此类调查中，一个重要的问题是关于在线性诱惑。然而，并非所有对儿童的性引诱都符合传统定义的性虐待的条件。来自其他同龄青少年的性诱惑可能是合法且非虐待性的。成人对超过同意年龄的青少年的劝诱也可能是合法的。同时，许多真正的在线性犯罪可能不会与想要或不需要的教唆问题相联系。本文回顾了 25 份在线性虐待调查报告。它还审查了美国国家技术促进虐待 （TFA） 调查中的情节和叙述，该调查询问了在线引诱和其他在线性犯罪。在审查的调查中，25 项调查中有 9 项仅引发并计算了来自成年人的在线性诱惑，但其余调查还包括其他青年律师和成年人。25 个项目中有 8 个只询问了 “不受欢迎的 ”招揽，但其余的没有这样的条件，可能包括反应积极或中立的招揽。对 TFA 调查的分析表明，在超过一半的招揽事件中，接受者实际上并不知道律师的年龄或身份。流行率可能会出现非常大的差异，具体取决于计算的招揽类型以及缺失信息的分类方式。对有关在线招揽的调查结果进行分类和报告提出了建议。
