The sexually abused are NOT more likely to abuse others. They are no more likely to abuse than anyone randomly plucked from the population. A sexual abuser likely having been sexually abused in the past does not mean the same thing.

You ARE more like to physically abuse others if you grew up with regular physical abuse as your normal though. Even then, it's only statistically significant with men and the poor when you dig into thr data.

People abused as children are more likely to be abused as adults.
