A comprehensive and well-cited review on the topic of female child sex offenders was published by Grayston and DeLuca in 1999. Over the past twenty years, the clinical and empirical literature relating to female child sex offending has grown. In particular, more is now known about the characteristics of female child sex offenders, and the nature, type, and context of offences, as well as motivations underpinning offending. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the current clinical and empirical literature on female child sex offenders, and to update the summary profile on these offenders as originally proposed by Grayston and DeLuca (1999). Of particular note are updates to the co-offending literature and new research regarding the use of technology, abuse within the educational context, and recidivism in female perpetrated child sexual abuse. Implications for assessment and treatment of this offender cohort are also discussed, alongside limitations of this review.

Grayston 和 DeLuca 于 1999 年发表了一篇关于女童性犯罪者主题的全面且被广泛引用的评论。在过去的二十年中，与女童性犯罪相关的临床和实证文献有所增加。特别是，现在对女童性犯罪者的特征、犯罪的性质、类型和背景以及犯罪动机的了解更多。本文的目的是回顾当前关于女童性犯罪者的临床和实证文献，并更新最初由 Grayston 和 DeLuca (1999) 提出的关于这些犯罪者的概要概况。特别值得注意的是对共同犯罪文献的更新和关于技术使用、教育背景下的滥用、和女性实施的儿童性虐待的累犯。除了本综述的局限性外，还讨论了对该罪犯队列的评估和治疗的影响。
