Child sexual abuse or
child molestation is a form of
child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for
sexual stimulation. Forms of child sexual abuse include asking or pressuring a child to engage in
sexual activities (regardless of the outcome),
indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.) to a child with intent to gratify their own
sexual desires or to intimidate or
groom the child, physical sexual contact with a child, or using a child to produce
child pornography.
