Abstract:

The objective of this study was to identify the characteristics of child sexual abuse such as the victims’ and the perpetrators’ profiles, and associated factors notified in a reference health service with the database of the Information System for Reporting Diseases, in a city in the south of Brazil. Categorical variables are presented in prevalence and 95% confidence intervals. There were 489 notifications from 2008 to 2014 of child sexual abuse confirmed or suspected. The majority was related to female victims, but the repeated abuse was reported mainly with male victims. In most cases, the abuse took place at the victims’ or perpetrators’ homes and the main perpetrators of abuse were male and acquainted to the victims. Twelve victims have contracted sexually transmitted infections; pregnancies were six, five of them interrupted legally. This study highlights that the child sexual abuse profiles were similar in almost all of Brazilian regions, showing that it is possible to have a national action to prevent this injury.
