MEN?HAVING?SEX?with girls under the age of 16 has been identified as the most common form of child sexual abuse cases in Barbados.
This was closely followed by family friends and neighbours who were the perpetrators of sexual abuse, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) child protection specialist Heather Stewart said.
These were among the preliminary findings on alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse, according to Child Care Board statistics from 2008 to 2013.
Stewart’s presentation, titled Break The Silence: End Sexual Abuse, was made during the Let’s Talk . . . Student Sexual Abuse symposium, held at Hilton Barbados.
