Child Sexual Abuse Throughout history child sexual abuse has been a major problem plaguing many societies. Child sexual Abuse has been defined by the text Human Sexuality, as, an adult engaging in sexual contact of any kind with a child- inappropriate touching, oral-genital stimulation, coitus and the like. *Child sexual abuse is an abuse of power that encompasses many forms of sexual activity between a child or adolescent (most often a girl) and an older person, most often a man or older boy known to the victim. Even if no overt violence or threats of violence occur, such interaction is considered coercive and illegal because a child is not considered mature enough to provide in formed consent to sexual involvement. Informed consent implies the possession of adequate intellectual and emotional maturity to understand fully both the meaning and possible consequences of a particular action. Researchers has made a distinction between non-relative & relative child sexual abuse. The first is Pedophilia or child molestation, which is sexual contact between adult and a child who are not related and incest, which is sexual contact between people who are related(one of whom is a child) .
