AB Western society historically views females as protectors who engage in acts of violence or sexual aggression only when they are triggered by a combative male partner. Nevertheless, research indicates some patterns of female violent offending have been on the rise, and this includes sex crimes. In fact, it has been estimated that female offenders may account for up to 12% of all sexual offenses.. In the present study, we conducted face-to-face interviews with ten females on the sex offender registry in Southeast Texas to explore patterns in sexual offending. Results indicated that respondents in our sample had unique motivations and circumstances that set them apart from male sex offenders. Similar to other studies, our findings reveal the dynamics of female sexual offending are vastly different from sex crimes perpetuated by men.
