I remember seeing somewhere on here that a study had been done and it was found that the number of ppl who go on to contact offend after viewing iioc is very low, something like 2.7% if i remember correctly? Does that ring bells with you? Can someone point me to the link for the study please?

I remember too that the % of the other way around is higher although of course many contact offenders will never want to look at images.......
