Molestation and Sexual Abuse Sexual abuse and molestation can take on many faces. It can affect the very young as well as the very old, the wealthy and famous and the everyday person. A victim of sexual abuse often feels embarrassed and keeps the abuse a secret, sometimes for decades! Sexual abuse can range from non-physical abuse (sexual harassment) to actual intercourse.
