| Summary: |
The main aim of this study is to enlarge the knowledge about the procedure of disclosure and reporting of child sexual abuse, based on victim’s answers. In order to achieve this, 15 adults who suffered sexual abuse before their 18 birthday were interviewed. Data was gathered about their disclosure and reporting experiences in childhood and in adulthood, the reactions around them and their opinion about the legal limits for this type of felony. Most victims disclosured the abuse in childhood and as grown-ups, although only during the latter period they found this helpful. Only one case had reported during childhood and two have done it when adults, nearly twenty years after the age of onset. Victims felt satisfied with the decision of reporting, even though they described the process as hard. All participants thought that sexual felonies against children should not prescript. |
