This paper describes empirical indications, theoretical precepts and clinical characteristics of sexually aggressive adolescents. The outline of basic characteristics in defining and classifying sexually aggressive behaviour of adolescents is given, as well as the procedures in obtaining the data on the offender and risk assessment techniques. The final part of the paper describes possible interventions and the treatment through multi-systematic therapy, the theoretical precepts and clinical characteristics of which pointed out to the multiple nature of serious antisocial behaviour of a special category of behavioural disorder in the adolescent age.
