Child sex abuse survivors are five times more likely to be the victims of sexual assault later in life

New research has found child sex abuse survivors are far more likely to be the victims of a range of crimes as adults. The reasons why – and who is most vulnerable – are complex.

• What we already know and what our research did
• Re-victimisation is not limited to sexual offences or just women
• Why child sex abuse survivors are more vulnerable
• How mental illness factors into re-victimisation
• Meeting the needs of survivors
• A final word about resilience
