===Distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia===
In [[Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention]], Cimbolic & Cartor (2006) noted that because of the majoritylarge share of post-[[pubescent]] male minors among cleric victims supportedthere theis need forto further study ofthe differential variables related to [[ephebophilia|ephebophile]] versus [[pedophilia|pedophile]] offenders.<ref>Cimbolic & Cartor (2006). Looking at ephebophilia through the lens of priest sexual abuse. Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention, 13(4), 347–359.</ref> Cartor, Cimbolic & Tallon (2008) found that 6 percent of the cleric offenders in the [[John Jay Report]] are [[pedophilia|pedophiles]], 32 percent [[ephebophilia|ephebophiles]], 15 percent 11 & 12 year olds only (both male and female), 20 percent indiscriminate, and 27 percent mildly indiscriminate.<ref name="cartor"/> They also found distinct differences between the pedophile and ephebophile groups. They reported that there may be “another group of offenders who are more indiscriminate in victim choice and represent a more heterogeneous, but still a distinct offender category” and suggested further research to determine “specific variables that are unique to this group and can differentiate these offenders from pedophile and ephebophile offenders” so as to improve the identification and treatment of both offenders and victims. <ref name="cartor">Cartor, Cimbolic & Tallon (2008).
