Existing studies indicate similarities among victims and the consequences of their abuse. This study investigates the experiences of victims of penetrative TA-CSA and penetrative CSA, examining their sociodemographic characteristics, the nature of the abuse, and mental health and psychosocial consequences. Data was derived from the German Sexual Abuse Telephone Helpline between 2020 and 2023, with information gathered anonymously during calls with the caller's consent. The sample consisted of N = 302 callers reporting experiences of penetrative CSA or penetrative TA-CSA. Exact Chi-Square tests and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used to compare both groups in terms of demographics, characteristics of the abuse, and reported consequences. Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the relationship between consequences and technology use. Results show that penetrative TA-CSA is objectively associated with more severe abuse circumstances, including multiple perpetrators, higher frequency of abuse, and earlier age of onset. The latter contributed to the specific consequences being reported by victims. No differences in terms of gender, living environment, or education were found between both groups. While the involvement of technology in penetrative abuse is related to its severity, it does not directly affect reported consequences. Future research should further examine the nuanced impact of technology use.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143989447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify mediating mechanisms between CSA severity, adverse familial psychosocial factors and depressive symptoms in Turkish children and adolescents who have experienced sexual abuse. The files of 340 CSA cases, aged 6-18, who applied to the forensic outpatient clinic between 2014-2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Psychiatric diagnoses were made according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria. Depressive symptoms were evaluated through clinical examinations and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Sexual abuse severity was measured with the Sexual Abuse Severity Score (SASS) algorithm based on the information obtained from files. Both intrafamilial violence (IFV) (B = 2.67, 95%CI [0.56-4.77]) and chaotic family environment (CFE) (B = 2.57, 95%CI [0.43-4.72]) had significant effects on CDI scores under significant and full-mediating effects of verbal/physical coercion (B = 1.16, 95%CI [0.17-2.81] for IFV→CDI; B = 1.44, 95%CI [0.24-3.34] for CFE→CDI) and qualitative severity of sexual abuse (B = 0.91, 95%CI [0.17-2.06] for IFV→CDI; B = 1.04, 95%CI [0.14-2.44] for CFE→CDI).

Men in particular tend to use substances in an effort to self-medicate trauma-related distress. Data suggest that up to 20-25% of men in SUD treatment have histories of CSA. Male survivors of sexual violence face unique challenges related to gender norms, masculinity, and homophobia that influence the healing process. Although there is a growing body of research on the process of male healing, no studies up to this point have specifically explored how men in long-term addiction recovery describe what it means to heal from sexual trauma. To fill this gap, this study is built on semi-structured interviews with 25 men in recovery from SUD with histories of CSA. Grounded theory procedures revealed four overall themes of the healing journey from sexual trauma of men in SUD recovery: (1) Working toward Acceptance; (2) Practicing Forgiveness; (3) Reexamining Masculinity; and (4) Building a Community of Healing. Results suggest that healing from CSA for male survivors in recovery from SUD occurs in the context of community when survivors come forward and beat the shame associated with sexual trauma. Findings also underline the need to continue to challenge societal misbeliefs surrounding the rates and effects of sexual violence perpetrated on boys. Future research should explore differences in the male healing journey based on perpetrator characteristics and should also investigate feasible interventions to address healing from CSA in SUD treatment.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144004563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a sample of 85,004 U.S. adolescents' responses to the 2022 minnesota Student Survey, multivariate logistic analyses for rare events revealed that older students and males were more likely to engage in sexual violence. Several risky behaviors (i.e. fighting, drug use, running away from home), exposure to domestic violence, parental and sexual abuse, and sexual behaviors increased the risk of adolescent sexual violence perpetration. Interestingly, some factors had slightly similar effects across sex (i.e. age, running away, parental and sexual abuse, early sexual initiation, and transactional sex). The findings are discussed in the context of existing research on adolescents who commit sexual assault, with recommendations for policy and future research areas.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144003410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correlational and multivariate analyses of variance were conducted to examine group differences. No significant differences were found between the CSEM and sexual contact groups. Compared to the community group, the other three groups showed more impairments in personality functioning. The violent group reported higher levels of psychopathic and narcissistic traits than the other groups. The community group showed more overt narcissistic traits compared to the other groups.

Despite this, there is little research exploring differences between adolescents belonging to Indigenous communities and the general population. This is relevant because 12.8% of the Chilean population is from an Indigenous community. In this study, data from 13,385 adolescents all over the country (15.8% indigenous) were analyzed. The prevalence of seven forms of sexual victimization throughout life was examined. Adolescents from Indigenous communities presented a higher prevalence of statutory rape, sexual abuse by an unknown adult, sexual abuse by a known adult, and rape although the effect size was small in all cases and the difference in prevalence rates was less than 2.5%. The results suggest that although attention should be paid to these differences, factors that may contribute to the vulnerability of adolescents from both groups should be explored. For example, in this study, adolescents from Indigenous communities came from a lower income segment compared to their non-Indigenous peers. In Chile, extreme poverty is associated with vulnerability factors for abuse in adolescents of any ethnic origin, so public programs and policies should consider not only ethnicity, but also other factors such as gender, socioeconomic level, and social support network.","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":"34 2","pages":"185-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144054564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
