Most victims are post-pubescent. Boys are primary victims. Most offenders were abuse victims. Extra-familial children are at risk. Abuse is typically an isolated event. Penetrative offenses are rare. Similar to other child sex offenders. Offenders commit only sexual crimes.

VRS-SO reliably distinguished high from low risk parental offenders. Dynamic risk factors reliably predicted diversion, treatment completion, and low risk reoffences. VRS-SO useful to assess treatment needs, responsivity to interventions, compliance and treatment completion by parental sex offenders. VRS-S0 recommended to assess and manage risk in a community sample of low risk offenders.

Sep 2012, NSW Attorney-General adopted policy that all sex offenders must go to jail, commenced dismantling and closure of Cedar Cottage, reassigning low risk offenders to prisons.

Diversion is an effective preventive intervention for parental sex offenders. Community-based treatment is consistent with the therapeutic jurisprudence aim of the criminal justice system, not punitive populism. Community containment of low risk parental child sex offenders is an evidence-based policy and practice.
