Note. Statistical Analysis: Fisher’s exact tests. a All data given in this section are based on the ICD-10 criteria for paraphilias. b Sexual violence was assessed using a four-item questionnaire asking about verbal assault, non-consensual sexual recordings, non-consensual touching/rubbing, and non-consensual penetration. c Consumption of images of child abuse was assessed with a semi-structured interview (voluntary disclosure of confidential information) in which participants were asked to disclose consumption regardless of whether this was known to the legal system. Any lifetime history of consumption of images of child abuse was coded 1; other responses were coded 0. * p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. † significant after Bonferroni α-correction. In this section p-values < 0.002 (0.05/22) were considered as significant.
