Sexual predator : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sexual predator
A sexual predator is a person seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically "predatory" or abusive manner. Analogous to how a predator hunts down its prey, so the sexual predator is thought to "hunt" for his or her sex partners. People who commit sex crimes, such as rape or child sexual abuse, are commonly referred to as sexual predators, particularly in tabloid media or as a power phrase by politicians.〔Filler, Daniel (2001). "(Making the Case for Megan's Law: A Study in Legislative Rhetoric, )" ''Indiana Law Journal'', 76(2).〕 According to the NBC news program ''Dateline'', as of January 2006, law enforcement officials estimate that as many as 50,000 sexual predators are online at any given moment. That number has been cited by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in speeches touting the dangers of child predators.〔(Transcript of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales’ Address to the Employees at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children ) April 20, 2006〕〔(CNN – Gonzales gives child porn 'wake-up call' ) April 20, 2006〕 However, the origins of that figure have been questioned by ''Legal Times'',〔(LegalTimes.com - Numbers Game: Gonzales Launches DOJ Project Safe Childhood With Mysterious Figure )〕 and ''Dateline'' says it will no longer use it.〔(NPR, On The Media - Prime Number ) May 26, 2006〕 Janis Wolak of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire found that many parental fears about Internet sex predators are misinterpretations of the danger.〔(Fears of Internet predators unfounded, study finds )〕 ==Definitions and distinctions==
