Issue Focus: Child Sexual Abuse
Child sexual abuse is when a child is used for sexual gratification by an older child, adolescent or adult. It may or may not involved physical contact (i.e., the taking of pornographic photographs). Incest refers to sexual activity between family members, or someone who may not be a related family member but is seen as part of the family. Adults sexually abused as children refers to adults with a past history of child sexual abuse. Non-offending parents usually refers to the parent that did not commit the crime against their child.
