in this report, the 4,295 who could be identified are called child molesters (table 2). the 4,295 identified child molesters included some (443 out of the 4,295) whose specific sex offense against a child was non-forcible intercourse. these 443 are called statutory rapists. there were more than 443 among the 4,295, but 443 were all that could be identified from the limited information obtained for the study. both the 4,295 child molesters and the 443 statutory rapists were predominantly non-hispanic white males. nearly three-fourths of the child molesters (73.2%) were age 30 or older. just over half the statutory rapists (54%) were 30 or older at the time they were released from prison.
