It is not for the benefit of the offenders sexual gratification. Rather, they get their gratification from having power over another person or child. Sex is the weapon they choose to gain and underpin their power. One in 3 girls will have experienced sexual assault by the age of 18. One in every 8 boys will also have experienced sexual assault by the age of 18.
Sexual assault happens to both males and females.
It happens to people of all ages and people of all nationalities. Sexual assault does happen - it is a crime and should not be kept a secret. An offender is someone who forces you to do a sexual act against your will or who forces themselves upon you. There is no clear picture of who an offender will be. Men who abuse boys or other men are not usually gay, they are commonly heterosexual men who are 'average' people.
