"Child sexual abuse" is any act of a sexual nature committed against an individual under the age of sixteen. The "Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect" has identified seven specific forms of sexual abuse: sexual activity completed; sexual activity attempted; touching/fondling of the genitals; adult exposure of genitals to a child; sexual exploitation (i.e., involvement in prostitution or pornography); sexual harassment; and, voyeurism.
