“…The present investigation extended and replicated the previously reported relationship between height and pedophilia in a number of ways. First, similar to Cantor et al (2007) and McPhail and Cantor (2015), the present study found that pedophiles reported being significantly shorter than teleiophiles (by 3.55 cm). Second, pedophiles were, on average, 3.09 cm shorter than teleiophiles.…”

“…Prior effect size estimates from Cantor et al (2007) and McPhail and Cantor (2015) have ranged from d = .21 to d = .25 (see Table 3). In the current investigation, the height difference of 3.09 cm between the pedophilic and nonpedophilic group corresponds to a small-to-medium effect, d = .42 (Cohen, 1992).…”

“…Smaller, retrospective, and cross-sectional studies of forensic or correctional samples suggest that certain early risk markers might also be associated with pedophilia (e.g., Cantor et al, 2004; Dyshniku, Murray, Fazio, Lykins, & Cantor, 2015). The available literature suggests that pedophilic men who sexually offended against children are marginally shorter (1.7 cm; McPhail & Cantor, 2015) and exhibit moderately more minor physical anomalies, indicative of neurodevelopmental perturbations, than nonpedophilic male sexual offenders against children (Dyshniku et al, 2015). Pedophilic male offenders against children are also reported to have moderately lower general cognitive ability than male sexual offenders with either a sexual interest in pubescent children (7 Intelligence Quotient [IQ] points less) or in adults (9 IQ points less), respectively (Blanchard et al, 2007).…”
