In: Deviant Behavior, 2025, First published online, 3 April 2025Summary: Child-like sex dolls (CLSDs) are an area of escalating concern around the globe.

This research addresses this gap by analyzing court cases involving CLSDs in Australia. It describes key features of these cases to advance understanding about CLSD importation and use. Its findings contribute to knowledge by providing a detailed picture of convicted CLSD perpetrators. (Authors' abstract). Record #9197
