Rationale: Sexual abuse occurs in all ethnic, religious, economic, and cultural subgroups. Affinity systems—immediate family, relatives, friends, neighbors, clergy, scout leaders—account for 75% to 90% of the abusers. Male perpetrators are involved in 90% of reported cases. Although father–daughter incest is most reported, it is believed that sibling incest is the most widespread. Some siblings turn to each other for emotional nurturance and acceptance. In other instances a sibling uses coercion or violence to perpetrate the abuse. More than 41% of sexual assaults occurred in or near the victim's home and 41% of sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement.
