REM Hennepin Lyndale Minneapolis Substantiated Complaint
According to the National Institute of Justice article, sexual abuse is one of the most understudied aspects of elder mistreatment. An NIJ-sponsored study that examined elder sexual abuse found that:
•Elderly sexual assault victims were not routinely evaluated to assess the psychological effects of an assault.
•The older the victim, the less likelihood that the offender would be convicted of sexual abuse.
•Perpetrators were more likely to be charged with a crime if victims exhibited signs of physical trauma.
•Victims in assisted living situations faced a lower likelihood than those living independently that charges would be brought and the assailant found guilty.
