Abstract

Sexual assault is a form of violence disproportionately perpetrated against women by men; however, men also experience high rates of sexual victimization. While recent research exploring victimization of sexual assault among men does exist, little is known about situational characteristics and consequences surrounding men's assault experiences. Therefore, the current study examines narratives of men's sexual assault to further understand the unique experiences of men receiving a sexual assault medical forensic examination. To accomplish this, we conducted a retrospective medical chart review of sexual assault narratives from N = 45 men receiving a sexual assault medical forensic examination at a large academic medical institution in the southeastern United States. Three general constructs were identified within the records: a) Perpetrator use of coercive tactics, b) Memory loss, and c) Contextual factors. Nested within these constructs, five specific themes emerged, including: a1) Use of weapons and physical force; a2) Tactical administration of alcohol and drugs; b1) Difficulties remembering assault; c1) Consensual sexual activity turned non-consensual; c2) Incarceration. Findings from the present study common identified characteristics of sexual assaults among men receiving a sexual assault medical forensic examination, including coercive tactics used by perpetrators, consequences of sexual assault, and high-risk settings for male victimization.

接受法医检查的男性遭受性侵犯的特征。

性侵犯是男性对女性实施的一种不成比例的暴力形式；然而，男性遭受性侵犯的比例也很高。虽然近期确实有研究探讨了男性的性侵犯受害情况，但对男性遭受侵犯的情景特征和后果却知之甚少。因此，本研究对男性性侵犯的叙述进行了研究，以进一步了解男性在接受性侵犯法医检查时的独特经历。为此，我们对在美国东南部一家大型学术医疗机构接受性侵犯法医检查的 N = 45 名男性的性侵犯叙述进行了回顾性病历审查。在这些记录中，我们发现了三个一般结构：a) 施暴者使用胁迫策略；b) 失忆；c) 背景因素。在这些结构中，出现了五个具体主题，包括：a1) 使用武器和武力；a2) 使用酒精和药物；b1) 难以记住攻击行为；c1) 双方同意的性活动变成非同意的；c2) 监禁。本研究的结果共同确定了接受性侵犯医疗法医检查的男性的性侵犯特征，包括犯罪者使用的胁迫手段、性侵犯的后果以及男性受害的高风险环境。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
