Follow-up of sexual abuse complaints against minors in France 2019
When looking at the proportion of people who were sexually abused as children who filed a complaint or not, it appears that in almost three-quarters of the cases, no complaint was filed, either by the victim or by a third party. However, of the 14 percent of victims of childhood sexual abuse who knew that a complaint had been filed for what they had experienced, 43 percent were able to take their abuser(s) to trial and conviction.
