Solicitações de caráter sexual dirigidas a menores por meio da internet, fenômeno identificado como assédio sexual online a menores, têm apresentado nos últimos anos uma tendência ascendente de forma contínua nas estatísticas criminais registradas na Espanha. O objetivo principal do presente estudo é descrever e comparar o histórico criminal e a reincidência de indivíduos detidos por assédio sexual online a menores, abuso sexual de menores e pornografia infantil, a partir de registros policiais, com a finalidade de identificar padrões diferenciais de conduta delitiva. Para isso, foram extraídas informações sobre histórico criminal e reincidência de três amostras distintas de detidos por crimes de assédio sexual online a menores, pornografia infantil e abuso sexual de menores. Esses dados, inicialmente obtidos de autos policiais, foram ampliados com informações de bases de dados de detenções policiais e, posteriormente, submetidos a tratamento estatístico. A metodologia adotada possui enfoque quantitativo, com delineamento não experimental, exploratório, descritivo e comparativo. Os resultados demonstram que tanto a taxa de reincidência quanto a de histórico criminal prévio são maiores nos delitos relacionados ao assédio sexual online de menores do que nas outras duas amostras. O histórico criminal por outros delitos sexuais também se mostra recorrentemente mais elevado. A partir desses resultados, pode-se deduzir que o perfil do assediador sexual de menores é muito mais semelhante ao do abusador sexual do que ao do infrator por pornografia infantil, razão pela qual tanto a resposta policial quanto as estratégias de reinserção devem ser adaptadas a tais características.
