Abstract

Evidence exists that older adults are victims of sexual assault and rape. The scope of the problem, prevalence, and correlates of these sex crimes are relatively unknown. Such knowledge deficits are major barriers to detecting, prosecuting, and preventing sex crimes against older adults. Understanding how intentional sexual injuries are inflicted on older adults is a growing concern as the population over 65 increases. This study contributes critical information to guide the identification of physical and psychologic markers of elder sexual abuse to be integrated by clinicians and law enforcement as forensic medical evidence.

摘要

有证据表明老年人是性侵犯和强奸的受害者。这些性犯罪的问题范围、发生率及相关因素相对尚不明确。此类知识缺口是侦查、起诉和预防针对老年人的性犯罪的主要障碍。随着65岁以上人口的增加，了解故意对老年人造成性伤害的方式日益受到关注。本研究提供了关键信息，以指导识别老年人性虐待的身体和心理指标，供临床医生和执法人员作为法医证据综合使用。
