"Myth: Children who are sexually assaulted will sexually assault others when they grow up"

That's good to know. I would seriously cry if anyone assumed that with me. First, I would cuss them. Didn't that "fifth nail" blogger/child molestor, who was caught last year, say in his blog that he was molested as a child?

are less likely to re-offend than those who reject intervention.

Or maybe less likely to get caught again? I seriously don't see how anyone can believe there's *proof* that they won't re-offend. I've met people who were molested, and never told another person that they were, until adulthood. I've read that is pretty common.

"9-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Florida"

Is this the little girl who was taken on suveillance camera, from behind the Florida car wash? If so, my parents pointed out the carwash to me, when we drove past it last year. I felt so bad for her, as we passed it. :/

It looks like you didn't post the entire myths thing..and I'm wondering if it said anything about homosexuality, as a result of child molestation? Maybe it's not wide spread...or if it is, not widely known.

In the military, I met a lot of people who were lesbian or male homosexuals. They were very open about it - verbally. Just didn't walk around holding hands - or other things.

Because we lived in a dorm, and were around each other so much..you would often hear the other females ask they why they were lesbian. I was astounded to hear many of them say they were molested as a child by a male, and no longer trusted males (sexually), and were repulsed by them. They said they did not feel that way, before the events occured.
