Abstract

Subjects were 30 white men who denied that they were child molesters at the time of arrest and were court ordered to have a psychological evaluation as part of the pre-sentencing. The Multiphasic Sex Inventory was administered to the subjects during the initial interview and later in therapy sessions they did admit to the offense. When scores for the group were compared with scores for a pretreatment child-molester group (n=140) in a study cited in the manual, the difference was significant on the Child Molest Lie Scale. Implications are discussed.
