Personne qui a subi l'inceste pendant l'enfance.

OBS

En français, le terme «victime» suggère une personne qui pâtit des agissements d'autrui [...] «Victime» est utilisé dans un deuxième sens, cependant, pour désigner une personne qui a subi un acte terminé; dans ce sens, «victime» est l'équivalent de «survivor».
