Study shows juveniles drive rise in sex offense cases
An Associated Press review finds a surge in juvenile sex offenses, with the number under 18 accused of forcible rape and other crimes rising from 24,100 in 1985 to 33,800 in 2004. Experts dispute whether more offenders exist or if laws and reporting boosted figures, noting many offenders were victims themselves and acclaiming new treatment facilities for children as young as five.
