Abstract

One hundred fifty-seven cases of alleged sexual abuse were assessed. Analysis of these data with respect to age, sex, relationship to assailant, and type of assault corroborate other published data. A 9.5% incidence of gonorrhea and 1.4% pregnancy rate were detected. Referrals were usually made through a parent. Concomitant social work and police investigation are necessary, especially in complex cases. Initial screening enables the scheduling of appointments for medical assessment in many cases.
