No. Among my friends, the assaulters were: neighbor (middle-aged man, repeat offender)-> children neighbor (old man, repeat offender) -> children father (full adult) -> son (child) husband -> wife [now ex] (both adults) date (adult man) -> adult woman brother (late teen) -> sister (pre-pubescent) mother (adult) -> daughter (pre-pubescent) I personally don't count kids "playing doctor" as assault, unless a child was forced (which does happen, but I have no idea of the stats on that). So among my sample, 5 out of 7 perpetrators were full adult males (meaning men over 25 yo); one was an adult woman (vicious, repeat offenses - FWIW, in my opinion she deserved death or permanent incarceration for what she did; there truly are men and women who do not deserve to *ever* have access to children or animals).
