Amongst children and teenagers
Sexual violence can also be perpetrated by one or more children or teenagers against you. We’re talking about sexual harassment when people say sexually connoted things, make sexually connoted gestures or display sexually connoted behaviours that are not wanted and which occur repeatedly.
“A sexual assault is when a sexually connoted gesture, with or without physical contact, is perpetrated by an individual without the consent of the person targeted by this gesture and, in certain cases like those of children, through emotional manipulation or blackmail.
It is an act aiming at using another person to fulfil one’s own desires while abusing one’s authority, or using strength or constraint, or explicit or implicit threats.
A sexual assault violates a person’s fundamental rights, amongst which that person’s physical and psychological integrity along with his or her security.” [O]
