The Berlin Project
for Primary Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse by Juveniles (PPJ) offers
diagnostic and therapeutic help to 12-to-18-year-old juveniles with a sexual
preference for the prepubescent and/or early pubescent
body of children and who apply for treatment
on a
voluntary basis. The project goal is to prevent primary
or recurrent child sexual abuse as
well as primary
or recurrent use
of child abuse
images. Treatment aims
to enable affected juveniles to obtain control
over their conflictual sexual behaviors. In the present
article, the origin of the PPJ; its main approach, including the conception of a media
campaign; as well as results from the first year of a
three-year study are presented. Further, initial charac- terizations of juveniles taking part in the project
for the first 12 months are provided.
The results confirmed that
the group of 12-to-18-year-old juveniles with a sexual
preference for prepubescent and/or
early pubescent minors
exists as a target group
for primary preventive measures and that they can be assessed for their sexual preferences.

Introduction
Child
sexual abuse (CSA) and the sexual victimization of children by downloading,
owning and/or disseminating child abuse images (CAI)
are matters of utmost international urgency. In a representative survey
conducted with children
between the ages of 2 and 17 years in the U.S., 1 in 12 children
reported to have been sexually victimized at least once within an examination
period of 1 year (Finkelhor, Ormrod, Turner, &
Hamby, 2005). The first representative investigation into the prevalence of CSA among the German general population (Wetzels, 1997) also revealed
a high level of sexual traumatization:
8.6% of girls and 2.8% of boys under the age of 16 years have been sexually victimized through direct physical
contact with an adult
offender. In a recent meta-analysis of 331 samples from all over the world with
almost 11 million participants, the prevalence of being sexually
victimized before the age of 18 years was estimated
to be 18% for girls and 7.6% for boys (Stoltenborgh, van IJzendoorn, Euser,
& Bakermans-Kranenburg, 2011). In most cases,
sexual abuse experiences in childhood and adolescence are accompanied by a variety
of immediate and long-term psychic,
social, physical and/or behavioral
