Most people think of adult rape as a crime of great proportion and significance. Most are unaware that children are victimized at a much higher rate than adults.

•Nearly 70% of all reported sexual assaults (including assaults on adults) occur to children ages 17 and under (Snyder, 2000). •Youths have higher rates of sexual assault victimization than adults. In 2000, the sexual assault victimization rate for youths 12 to 17 was 2.3 times higher than for adults (U.S. Dept. of Justice,

Bureau of Justice Statistics).

How does it affect me?

Four out of every 20 girls will be abused and one or two of every twenty boys.

The peak age of vulnerability is 7 to 13.

In the United States, approximately 500,000 children are sexually abused each year.

One in twenty instances of child sexual abuse are reported. The Neurobiology of Child Abuse and Neglect, Neuro Psychiatry Reviews, June 2008, Volume 9, Number 6.

The Human Impact of Childhood Sexual

Abuse Childhood Sexual Abuse occurs when the brain is in its critical formative period. Exposure to stress during this period changes the shape of the neurons and molecular organization of the brain leading to:

-Diminished capacity of the adult hippocampus

-Altered development of the limbic system

-Brain wave abnormalities in the temporal and frontal lobe regions of the brain

-Reduction in the size of the amygdala

The Neurobiology of Child Abuse and Neglect, Neuro Psychiatry Reviews, June 2008, Volume 9, Number 6.

Childhood sexual abuse is linked to the onset of:

-Psychosomatic Disorder-Panic Disorder-Borderline Personality Disorder-Dissociative Identity Disorder-Post-traumatic Stress Disorder-Depression-Eating Disorders-Suicidal Thoughts-Substance Abuse-Anxiety-Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

While childhood sexual abuse (CSA) continues to be a major public health problem, an equally severe and silent epidemic are the estimated 39 million adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States who continue to exhibit aftereffects of CSA that predispose them to adverse psychosocial outcomes throughout their adolescent and adult life.

Early childhood traumas such as sexual abuse can have lifelong effects throughout adulthood, and the cost to society is high. Ninety percent of cases go unreported and untreated, as the symptoms of CSA are often misdiagnosed and unappreciated. The Public’s Health, Los Angeles County Public
