Women who have sex with underage boys tend to be socially immature individuals who have difficulties in their intimate relationships. They are also likely to have been victims of sexual molestation themselves, and most have histories of substance abuse and personality and mental disorders, according to a spate of new studies.

According to a press release on the University of Georgia website, experts estimate that between five and seven percent of sex crimes are committed by females.
