The present study investigated sexual offenses committed in school against persons with disabilities, in terms of offender and victim characteristics, methods of operation, and offense characteristics. A total of 368 sexual offense cases between January 2010 and December 2013 which had been found guilty were collected from 133 legal written decisions. We compared ninety-nine cases against persons with disabilities with 269 cases against persons without disabilities. As a result, there were more male victims in sexual offenses committed in school against persons with disabilities than those against persons without disabilities. Most of offenders in cases against persons with disabilities were teenaged students with no criminal convictions. In addition, most of victims in cases against persons with disabilities were students of the school in which the offense occurred: they were alone in most of the cases at the time of the offense. In general the offender approached the victim by showing affection or giving compliments. The offense occurred in the restroom of the school, mostly in spring. In contrast, most offenders who committed sexual offenses against persons without disabilities were employed: some of them were employees of the school. They tended to plan the offense in advance and approached the victim by using authority. A considerable proportion of the offenses were occurred in elementary school, especially in the playground. Based on the current findings, the present study demonstrates detailed characteristics of the sexual offense cases against persons with disabilities, provides practical strategies for prevention, and aids to make policy implications for preventing crime against persons with disabilities.
