Difficulty in revealing the abuse: incest

Year 2011, Volume: 33 Issue: 1, 114 - 118, 14.03.2011

Abstract

Abstract

Incest is defined as any form of sexual contact between immediate relatives without regarding the ages, and consent of the participants. In studies performed recently, the investigators take all caregivers liable to look after the sufferers into consideration as perpetrators, notwithstanding their biologic ties with the victims. Historically incest relations mostly between father and daughter have been addressed, disregarding incest between siblings.

Although numerous case reports of incest have been presented, this case differs from others in that the victim had been sexually molested by her brother throughout a year, and she was hospitalized with a diagnosis strongly suggesting an acute organic pathology.

Key words: Forensic medicine, incest, organic disease, abuse.

 

Özet

Ensest, katılımcıların yaşına ve rızasına bakılmaksızın yakın akrabalar arasındaki herhangi bir cinsel ilişki olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda araştırmacılar; bakmakla yükümlü olan tüm kişileri, mağdurla olan biyolojik bağına bakmaksızın bu kapsama almaktadır. Tarihsel olarak en sık baba-kız ensesti konuşulmakta ve kardeş ensest kavramı göz ardı edilmektedir.

Ensest ile ilgili olarak çeşitli olgu sunumları olmakla birlikte; bu olgu bir yıl süresince ağabeyi tarafından cinsel istismara maruz kalması, ayrıca akut organik bir patolojiyi kuvvetle düşündürmesi ve bu tanıyla hastaneye yatışı yapılması açısından diğer ensest olgularından farklılık göstermektedir.

Anahtar sözcükler: Adli tıp, ensest, organik hastalık, istismar.
