Men Who Molest

Apr. 16, 1985
60 minutes

Experts estimate there are at least four million child sexual abusers in the US, and they do not fit our stereotypes. Almost half of those guilty of incest also molest children outside the family. Many also commit adult rape-and they come from every social background. Should they be treated, punished, or both? Frontline examines a controversial Seattle, Washington, program aimed at treating child sexual abusers.

Producer(s): Rachel V. Lyon

Awards: The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy Award Outstanding Background/Analysis of a Single Current Story
