The highest frequency was reported in 2006 and the next highest rate was reported in 2011. The ordinal place of the victims in family was between 4 and 6 in 79% of the cases.

In 90. 1% of the cases, criminals were aged 16-25 years old, and in 40. 3% of the cases, they were familiar and had familial relationship with the victim. Sexual traumas in 57. 1% of the cases were hymen tear and in 11. 8% cases anal tear. Conclusions: Most Adolescent Sexual Assaults remain hidden from the lawbecause of fear of exclusion from the family and society.

Enforcing severe punishments for offenders can be considered as a preventive measure.
