Sexual assault is also when someone is forced or tricked into sexual contact. It includes rape, incest, fondling, obscene phone calls, pornographic pictures of children, child prostitution, etc. Rape is when a person forces or tricks another into sexual intercourse. Rape can be vaginally, orally, or anally. Acquaintance Rape is when the offender is known to the victim and perhaps even a friend or date.
Incest is perhaps the most difficult for victims of sexual abuse to recognize.
Because nobody talks about it, we are not aware of how common incest is. It can happen in any family. Usually the offender is a father or older brother. Usually the victim is a daughter. Incest is more frequently reported when the child reaches puberty, but usually the sexual contact began much earlier.
