Abstract

The terms that describe a non-consensual sexual behavior such as rape, sexual abuse or sexual violence are very different, as are the negative effects on a victim of a physical and psychic nature, taking into account the different approaches of the attacker. The consent of the victim is absent or obtained by the attacker with physical and/or psychological violence; but it is also possible that the victim is unconscious or incapable of understanding. Those guilty of sexual offenses fall into a special category that is called “sex offenders” within which there is a di- versification of ways concerning the manner, degree and motivations. Re- search has shown that attackers acting in a group and those who are an indi- vidual attacker differ in their attitude towards the victim.
