“…In young sexually abused children, fears and anxieties may be expressed as sleep disturbances, nightmares, compulsive masturbation, precocious sexual play, loss of toilet training, crying with no provocation, staying indoors, and regressed behavior such as finger sucking or clinging (Brant & Tisza, 1977;Gomes-Schwartz, Horowitz, & Sauzier, 1985;Pascoe & Duterte, 1981). In school-age sexually abused children, it may also be necessary to treat depression, school failure, truancy, and running away from home (Justice &Justice, 1979).…”

“…Not infrequently, the legacy of abuse engenders a crippling sense of defeat, guilt, and shame. Many abused children are coerced to keep the abuse secret by physical threats or appeals to protect the abuser from exposure (Geiser, 1979;Justice & Justice, 1979). Although abused children are the victims, not the responsible agents, when the secret is revealed, the children may believe that adults blame them for permitting the abuse to continue.…”

It is no wonder that the devastating aftereffects of child sexual abuse are emblazoned on the headlines of today's newspapers and popular magazines. Whereas a minority of the public may argue that the problem is sensationalized, there is a growing consensus that child abuse is finally getting the attention it deserves. Indeed, with as many as 1 of every 4 girls (Finkelhor, 1979) and 9%-12% of boys (Herman, 1981;Russell, 1983) being sexually victimized before adulthood, child abuse penetrates deep into the social fabric. The estimate that 150,000-400,000 children are victimized annually (Finkelhor & Hotaling, 1984;Mrazek, 1983) underlines the fact that sexual abuse will touch the lives of many children and their families who contact helping professionals.

“…Early research on partners of men who perpetrated sexual offences has been criticised for its stigmatising view of women, and its narrow focus on incest (Cahalane et al, 2013;Dempster, 1993). Themes such as relinquishment of sexual contact (Maisch, 1973), emotional unavailability (Weiner, 1964) and collusion with the abuser (Justice and Justice, 1979) were identified pertaining to NOPs.Alternative perspectives argue that accusations of collusion cause a further disservice to an already stigmatised population (Joyce, 1997), and reviews of cases have found that collusion by NOPs is in fact rare (Crawford, 1999;Joyce, 1997). Others argue that the patriarchal social construction of motherhood sets women up to fail (Dempster, 1993;Hill, 2001), and that in some cases, women are preyed on by men who desire an adult relationship to hide their proclivity for abusing children (McLaren, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the experiences of non-offending partners (NOPs) of men who perpetrated contact and non-contact sexual offences. Design/methodology/approach In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight women and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings Findings yielded two superordinate themes, eight subordinate themes and an overarching theme. The first superordinate theme “Paying for their Husband’s Transgressions” captured many ways in which the women’s lives were impacted by their husbands offending. The second superordinate theme “Navigating the Darkness” encompassed the women’s experiences of trying to adapt to their new lives. The overarching theme “A Contaminated Life” pertained to the shared experiences of the women who all described encountering instant and profound consequences. This research highlighted the need for immediate signposting to support services for NOPs. The value of a humanistic counselling approach paired with forensic expertise was also identified. Future research with cross-cultural samples and same sex-couples would enrich the current understanding of this experience. Practical implications This research highlighted the need for immediate signposting to support services for NOPs. The value of a humanistic counselling approach paired with forensic expertise was also identified. Originality/value Qualitative research on the experiences of NOPs of men who perpetrated sexual offences is sparse. Furthermore, existing research focuses on the experiences of women who’s own children were abused, with the partners of men who have perpetrated extra-familial or non-contact offenses remaining largely neglected.

“…3 The acts of sexual abuse against the child by those having parental authority are considered to be incest in line with the definition made by the US Department of Health, Education and Protection, whereas recent studies seemed to agree on the definition of incest as all kinds of erotic behaviors among the members of the family who are not married to each other. 4 Extra-familial incest, on the other hand, is defined as incestuous acts perpetrated by the acquaintance, the family's friends, authority figures, or friends, usually in educational, daycare, entertainment, or religious settings or at the family's home. 5 When the relationship between the victimized child and the perpetrator in cases of child abuse is examined, it has been reported in many studies that the perpetrator is an acquaintance of the child and that the perpetrator is frequently one of the members of the family in a broader sense.…”

Aims: As per WHO data, one out of every three adult women and one out of every five adult men have been exposed to one or the other form of sexual abuse in their childhood or adolescence and the great majority of these abuses have been intrafamilial. In this context, the aim of the present study is to define the sociodemographic and clinical differences between two forms of incest, intra-familial and ekstra-familial, and evaluate the effect of these differences on the treatment and rehabilitation process. Methods: Data from 113 cases of incest abuse presented to the Trabzon Child Monitoring Centre between 2015 and 2021 were examined and evaluated retrospectively; the results and differences were presented in tables and charts; and the values that satisfied p
