Child/Teen Victims of Sex Abuse

An estimated 60% of perpetrators of sexual abuse are known to the child but are not family members, e.g., family friends, babysitters, child care providers, neighbors.

About 30% of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are family members.

Only about 10% of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

Not all perpetrators are adults?an estimated 23% of reported cases of child sexual abuse are perpetrated by individuals under the age of 18.

Disclosure of sexual abuse is often delayed; children often avoid telling because they are either afraid of a negative reaction from their parents or of being harmed by the abuser. As such, they often delay disclosure until adulthood.

Males tend not to report their victimization, which may affect statistics. Some men even feel societal pressure to be proud of early sexual activity, regardless of whether it was unwanted.

Studies of adults suggest that factors such as the relationship to the perpetrator, age at first incident of abuse, use of physical force, severity of abuse, and demographic variables, such as gender and ethnicity, impact a child?s willingness to disclose abuse.

Thanks for the stats and creating awareness... I think the other person's comment was was coming from a purely racist perspective, as if child abuse and the criminals engaged in this activity are directly connected to one race or gender.
