Sexual Assault Against Individuals With Special Needs, Disability or Handicap
One of the most common — and tragic — sexual assault situations involves children and others with special needs, disabilities and handicaps, but sexual assault can occur in any situation in which one person is in a uniquely vulnerable position. Often this includes positions of trust, or power or authority over victims. One common example includes medical and nursing home professionals and staff, including doctors, physicians, nurses, residents, interns, emergency room and custodial staff, dentists and chiropractors.
The school system is another common context for sexual assault. Sadly, children can be prey to teachers, administrators, office staff, custodial staff and guidance counselors. Even some of the teachers who have dedicated their careers to helping special needs children and children with disabilities or handicaps have been found guilty of sexual assault against their students. The saddest examples of all come from within victims' own families.
