Generally, it is difficult to get an adolescent male to do something he does not want to do, though priest abusers tend to prey on vulnerable or naive ones. Researchers divide offenders into two broad groups: the sex-force offender, who uses coercion or physical force and the sex-pressure offender--the 'groomer,' characterized by an absence of physical force, who uses enticement, persuasion and entrapment. The vast majority of priest sex offenders are 'groomers.'
