Red flags

• Child at risk, disclosures of sexual contact with minors, or ongoing access to potential child victims — immediate child-protection reporting and multiagency action (jurisdiction-specific mandatory duties)
• Coercive sexual behaviour with ongoing access to nonconsenting persons — public protection pathway, not delayed elective review
• Active suicidal ideation after forensic discovery, blackmail, or profound shame — same-day risk assessment and safety plan
• Rapid escalation of offline risk behaviour with substance intoxication — urgent containment and substance management
• Antiandrogen or GnRH therapy without medical monitoring, informed consent, or specialist oversight — stop and stabilise medically
• New late-onset sexual disinhibition with cognitive change — exclude neurocognitive/frontal pathology before a primary paraphilia label
