Abstract

‘Sexual abuse ' covers a wide range of unwanted sexual behaviors that are often used by offenders. There are many myths around what constitutes sexual assault is. If a child is sexually assaulted, they might experience a range of emotions and it’s important to know there are support services that can help them. Sexual assault has not always been about sex or abuse, but it has been a way of showing power and control over someone, especially children who are easy prey and vulnerable. Sexual abuse is a serious crime and is never the fault of the victim.1 Most often victims take it as their fault and end up with emotional struggle. The word abuse comes in various forms in relating to children, like luring the children for money or gifts, drug sexting or child pornography.
