In this study the immediate and long-term impact of sexual abuse in children and the psychological consequences on their mental health during adult life are reviewed. High-risk situations, as well as protective factors that may minimize the impact of sexual abuse, are analyzed. Implications of these findings for clinical research and forensic practice are commented upon.
