MYTH: "If a young male has an erection or if a female is sexually aroused, or if victims do not display signs of distress during the sexual abuse, then sexual assault isn't happening." |
FACT: Physical reactions to sexual stimulation are normal and indicate that one's biological body functions are responding naturally. This does not mean that the child or youth is enjoying it. Sexual assault is a criminal offence even if some of the acts make the individual feel good. |
