This section was setup in August 2018 in order to move the existing related discussions from other sections into this new section to group them together, and separate from the other CH-related topics.

Really? That is supposed to be some sort of... thought out comment/question?

I suspect I'd be banned or warned for calling you the one word that comes to mind. Suffice to say you are one. A big one at that.

I am not sure that there has been any research into it but one of the stereotypes of sexual abuse is that those who have been abused themselves become abusers.

Like all stereotypes or myth - eg someone who doesn't struggle can't have been raped or a person who doesn't complain immediately can't have been raped. A judge will tell a jury that there is no typical rapist and no typical victim. That is based on experience and research.
