Unfortunately, people act with ill intent towards one another every day.
Arguably one of the most heinous acts one person can do to another is sexually abuse them.

What is Sexual Abuse?
While it varies from state to state, the general definition of sexual abuse is any non-consensual sexual act, where the abuser uses force, coercion, threats of violence, or takes advantage of an individual that cannot or does not consent. The perpetrator can be someone the victim knows (such as a family member, friend, co-worker, or teacher) or a complete stranger.
“Sexual abuse” encompasses more than rape. It can be any unwanted sexual act forced upon an individual against his or her will. Unfortunately, these acts are rarely crimes of passion, and abusers use them to assert control over a victim. Under no circumstances are sexual abuse survivors at fault for the abuse they endured.
In many cases, sexual abuse victims do not report abuse because they do not know if what happened to them is assault, or they fear that the authorities will not believe them. While women and children are often victims of sexual abuse, men can also experience abuse.
