Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Retrospective analysis of the population of women examined for suspicion of sexual assault to compare the situation in the Czech Republic with the world's published works. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University and the Faculty Hospital Na Bulovce Prague. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of medical reports for all women examined for suspicion of sexual violence during the period from January 2007 to December 2008. RESULTS: During observed period 37 women were examined, average age of examined women was 26.2 years, range 15-51 years, 76% of females younger than 29 years, 16% of examined women were from abroad. We have found no differences in occurrence throughout the year. In 3 cases there were more aggressors, in 30% of cases the alleged perpetrator was a known person or relative. In 54% of cases completed vaginal intercourse with ejaculation allegedly took place. We detected one case of forced oral sex and one case of forced anal sex. In 19% touching was involved. 22% of women did not know whether coitus really occurred--in 14% the alleged victim was under the influence of alcohol, in 3 cases under the influence of drugs, including one case of drinking an unknown substance in a beverage. Obvious signs of violence were found in 27% of cases, of which mostly in the face (14%), the extremities (8%) and only in two cases on the genitals (5%). No woman did require medical treatment of injuries. CONCLUSION: Our experience is similar to the published world data. In our group there were more strangers among the perpetrators. We did not record any use of a weapon in the enforcement of sexual contact. It is necessary to examine the alleged victims whole body thoroughly, signs of violence were more frequent in extragenital localization.
