This article deals with reporting patterns of sexual abuse in males in a religious-cultural context through a case study of ultra-Orthodox Jewish (Haredi) men who were young victims of sexual abuse. The study is based on in-depth interviews with 40 Haredi men. The results indicate that sexual abuse involving ultra-Orthodox boys was and is underreported. Moreover, the results indicate that even when such incidents were reported, the avenues for disclosure were parents, educational-religious figures, and friends. It was also found that silencing in matters related to sexuality, viewing sexual abuse in boys as a serious sin and taboo, and encouraging blind obedience-all of which characterize Haredi society-were factors in the underreporting. The results also show a strong tendency to cover up incidents of sexual abuse on an individual level, on a family level, and at the community level. The findings indicate a linkage between the religious and cultural background of male victims of sexual abuse and their reporting patterns.
本文通过对遭受性虐待的极端正统派犹太（哈雷迪）年轻男性进行案例研究，探讨了宗教文化背景下男性性虐待的报告模式。该研究基于对40名哈雷迪男性的深入访谈。结果表明，涉及极端正统派男孩的性虐待过去和现在都报告不足。此外，结果表明，即使此类事件被报告，披露的途径也是父母、教育宗教人士和朋友。研究还发现，在性方面保持沉默、将男孩遭受的性虐待视为严重的罪恶和禁忌，以及鼓励盲目服从——所有这些都是哈雷迪社会的特征——是报告不足的因素。结果还显示，在个人层面、家庭层面和社区层面，都有强烈的掩盖性虐待事件的倾向。研究结果表明，性虐待男性受害者的宗教和文化背景与他们的报告模式之间存在联系。
