According to the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN), child sexual abuse is defined as an act that includes sexual activity with a minor, even in the absence of physical contact.

Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that approximately 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18. However, it is commonly recognized that the true number of cases must be higher as many cases never get reported to the authorities.

It is worth noting that legally, a child CANNOT consent to any form of sexual activity.

If you experienced the following in your youth, or believe a loved one may be dealing with sexual abuse, please report the crime to the proper authorities as soon as possible. Sexual abuse can include but is not limited to:
  • Exhibitionism
  • Fondling
  • Unwanted/any sexual contact between an adult and minor
  • Sexual intercourse with a minor
  • Masturbation in front of a minor
  • Forced masturbation of a minor
  • Obscene phone calls, texts, or digital interactions
  • Producing, owning, or sharing child pornography
  • Sex trafficking
  • Any sexual conduct that harms a child’s mental, emotional, or physical well-being

The majority of sexual abuse is committed by someone who knows the victim personally. It is estimated that 60% of perpetrators of sexual abuse are known to the child.

Often, these individuals are in a position of power or mentorship over the child. There is no “typical” sex offender, however. Individuals who commit sexual abuse can include but are not limited to:
  • Parents, siblings, or immediate family members
  • Extended family members
  • Family friends
  • Child care providers
  • Neighbors
  • Babysitters
  • School district employees
  • Employers
  • Leaders within a religious organizations
  • Leaders within a youth program (i.e. Boy or Girls Scouts)

The trauma sustained during childhood sexual abuse usually leaves survivors with a difficult time relaying what happened to them. This is often why it is considered a “silent crime.” Disclosing of the abuse is often delayed as children are afraid of negative reactions from their parents or they are intimidated by their abuser not to tell.

Disclosure often occurs after the individual has aged and are ready to discuss the trauma they suffered.

As hard as it is to do, disclosing the events that led up to and during your sexual abuse with a trusted childhood sexual abuse attorney from Hach & Rose, LLP can help you to begin on the path of reconciliation.
