Abstract

Based on the analysis of 51 cases of sexual crimes committed against persons with mean age 11,1 years, main points of expert analysis of statement or exclusion of cause-effect relationship between mental disorder of a victim and psychogenic action of sexual infringement in the legal expertise of "health harm severity" are presented. The regularities of development of mental disorder in judicially significant situations with regard to the influence of different types of psychogenic factors (specific sexual traumatization, additional and concomitant factors, non-specific psychogenic factors) are described. Definitions of different variants of cause-effect relationships (directed, modified) are formulated. The author suggests the grounds for choosing a form (definite, probable) of expert conclusion.
