Offending pattern in a gerontophilic perpetrator.
Examples of sexual offences perpetrated against older female victims are infrequently found in the medical literature. The case of a gerontophilic offender is reported. The criminal career of the subject bears a strong resemblance to more typical sex offenders with the exception of the very specific nature of victim selection. The current lack of knowledge and understanding of such offences and perpetrators is emphasized.
