Abstract

Child sexual assault is a severe violation  of human rights and the worst kind of child maltreatment.  Child sexual abuse is a threat to public health and not just  a private problem, but also has long-term psychological  consequences for children in adolescence and adulthood. It  was the main aim of this article, not to critically assess each  study, rather than perform a systems analysis of the socio demographic profile of victims, and to systematically  examine the existing literature. Age data, etc., comprised  of secondary sources like journal publications, government  documents and media articles, which are part of the socio demographic factors. The scientists investigated children's  sexual assault predicators. Children's sexual abuse was  very prevalent in most major areas included in the  research. A frequent misconception amongst criminals is  that sex with minors will cure them of HIV (Human  immunodeficiency viruses). This article has thus looked at  the socio-demographic profile of child sex abuse studies  published in the past decade. Initially, the research was  confined to women victims of child sexual abuse, but it has  been extended to include men who are as susceptible to  sexual abuse.
