To find out if there was any association between social demographic characteristics and sexual abuse profile. Bivariate analysis conducted indicated that PTSD was associated with perpetrator acts (p<0.0001), how long ago the abuse had taken place (p=0.043), how long before sharing the incidence (p=0.02).
