Does anybody know who was the first person that defined „child sexual abuse“ in the literature as all sexual activities of „children/“minors“ with a person 5 years or more older? It is a definition now often used in studies. Hikari wrote below https://www.boychat.org/messages/1546320.htm that the origin of that definition was a publication of David Finkelhor from 1986 but that article from 1986 writes: „Child sexual abuse consists of two overlapping but distinguishable types of interaction: (a) forced or coerced sexual behavior imposed on a child, and (b) sexual activity between a child and a much older person, whether or not obvious coercion is involved (a common definition of"much older" is 5 or more years).“ Impact of Child Sexual Abuse.
