I have seen more than my share of this kind of evil. It has gone on for far too long. We all speak of the horror of it, and we are troubled by the evil that is inflicted on so many innocent children, yet child sexual abuse remains a widespread problem.
Quote:One in 9 girls and 1 in 20 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual abuse or assault.3
- 82% of all victims under 18 are female.4
- Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.2
The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting and affect the victim's mental health. Victims are more likely than non-victims to experience the following mental health challenges:5
- About 4 times more likely to develop symptoms of drug abuse
- About 4 times more likely to experience PTSD as adults
- About 3 times more likely to experience a major depressive episode as adults
