Selon les spécialistes, le problème de la maltraitance sexuelle à l'égard des enfants est un problème universel. En fait, il apparaît dans toutes les sociétés, et touche tous les milieux familiaux. Lorsqu'une famille est le lieu d'une agression sexuelle, c'est parce qu'il y a certains facteurs, et certaines conditions qui favorisent le passage à l'acte (qui peuvent poursuivre longtemps l'agressé(e), y compris dans l'âge adulte). 9, record 3, French, - maltraitance%20sexuelle%20d%27enfant
