Child sexual abuse has multiple definitions. It can include physical contact, such as kissing, groping, or rape. It can also include nonphysical acts, such as exposing genitals or taking explicit pictures of a minor. Child abuse can refer to many different types of sex crimes, but the commonality is that these are crimes perpetrated against a minor who does not have the legal ability to consent to such conduct. 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys will become victims of child sexual abuse. These may be conservative estimates as sexual abuse is widely one of the most underreported crimes. Victims are often children who have been abused by an adult in a trusted position, such as a parent, neighbor, teacher, or coach. Perpetrators of child abuse can be tried in criminal and civil court. While the goal of criminal court is to punish the wrongdoer, civil cases seek monetary compensation for the harm the abuser caused and social accountability.
