The literature on sexual offenders who have intellectual disabilities is sparse, and in need of additional descriptive statistics in order to begin to formulate relevant research questions. The present retrospective study examines a group of men (N=86) with intellectual disabilities who had committed sexual offences, and received assessment and treatment services in a community setting. Data are provided on their levels of intellectual functioning, additional disabling conditions, charges, classification, treatment and rates of recidivism. Suggestions are made for prospective research studies into the efficacy of various treatments.
