Recent research examined the characteristics of one of the largest sample of young people showing harmful sexual behaviour in the UK. In partnership with nine organisations offering community and residential services, the agency records relating to 700 children and young people referred between 1992 and 2000 for interventions to address harmful sexual behaviours. One of the findings was the significant number who had experienced sexual abuse. The authors highlight the importance of recognising the complex needs of a large number of children and young people presenting with 'dual sexual abuse experiences'. (Original abstract)

A new law relating to child prostitution and pornography was finally passed in 1999.
