For an 18-month period, all sexual abuse cases were referred to a project social worker. From her initial interview and the medical records, data were analyzed for 113 children who were 12 years of age or younger. It was found that half were five years or younger and three-fourths of the cases were female children. Reasons were discussed as to why females are more likely to be identified as sexually abused cases. A higher than average rate of gonorrhea was found among the pediatric group studied. While only 44 per cent of abusers were relatives of the abused, almost all (93%) were known to the family. If a relative were the alleged abuser, there was a high probability that it was a father, stepfather, or uncle.
在为期18个月的时间里，所有性虐待案件都被转交给了一名项目社工。根据她的初次面谈和病历，对113名12岁及以下的儿童数据进行了分析。结果发现，一半的儿童年龄在5岁及以下，四分之三的案件涉及女童。讨论了女童更易被认定为性虐待案件的原因。在所研究的儿科群体中发现淋病发病率高于平均水平。虽然只有44%的施虐者是受虐儿童的亲属，但几乎所有施虐者（93%）都是家庭所认识的人。如果施虐者是亲属，那么很有可能是父亲、继父或叔叔。
