Healio (10/5, Weldon) reports, “Teen girls who experienced sexual abuse were more likely than their peers to be cyberbullied,” and also appeared to log “higher usage of pornography and social media, which led to being sexually solicited online and engaging in more sexual activity two years later,” researchers concluded in an “observational study” that “assessed two years of URL activity and offline psychosocial factors of 460 consenting girls aged 12 to 16 years.” The findings were published online Sept. 27 in the journal Nature Human Behavior.
