Victims of sexual abuse aged 60 and older, an observational study from the Department of Forensic Medicine of Paris, France
The study confirms the likely underreporting of sexual abuse against older patients, particularly male patients, and highlights the heightened vulnerabilities in this specific population. This study also emphasizes the severity of these abuses and the multifaceted challenges in detecting, reporting, and addressing such crimes. Tackling these challenges is crucial for the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies tailored to protect older patients.
