Adult survivors of child sexual abuse and crime stats

We are gathering information about the premise that "most kids don't tell" when they are sexually abused. Thank you for your assistance in helping us determine if crime statistics are accurately reflecting the true experience of child sexual abuse in our communities.

The Federal definition of child sexual abuse follows:

A) the employment, use, persuasion, inducement, enticement, or coercion of any child to engage in, or assist any other person to engage in, any sexually explicit conduct or simulation of such conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct; or

(B) the rape, molestation, prostitution, or other form of sexual exploitation of children, or incest with children.
