The Effect of Sexual Assault on a Small Isolated Community Journal Articles

abstract

• This paper documents the case of one family in which the two young boys were sexually abused by a school principal. Each family member suffered deleterious psychological sequelae as a result of the abuse. Since more than half the boys of one generation in this community were assaulted by the same perpetrator, we have postulated that the whole community suffered from a sense of betrayal, powerlessness and stigmatization.
