Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that possessing and sharing child pornography is a stronger diagnostic indicator of pedophilia than a history of sexually offending against child victims. This is because individuals who possess and share child pornography are more likely to have a primary sexual interest in prepubescent children, which is a defining feature of pedophilia. In contrast, individuals who offend against child victims may have other motivations for their behavior, such as anger or dominance, and may not necessarily have a primary sexual interest in children.
