abstract="Sibling incest is a serious form of intra-familial sexual abuse with health, social and legal relevance. A retrospective study was conducted, through the analysis of forensic medical reports of the alleged sibling incest of victims under 18 years old (n=68) from 2004 to 2011, as well as the respective judicial outcomes. <br><br>RESULTS demonstrated that sibling's sexual abuse is associated with several circumstances that might exacerbate its severity such as vaginal, anal and/or oral penetration. Moreover, the victim's young age, the proximity between victim and abuser, and the fact that it is committed at victim's and/or abuser's home and by using physical violence and verbal threats, justify a late detection of these cases.<p/> <p>Language: en</p>",
