In Utah, both boys and girls are sexually
abused almost equally. Statistics indicate
that 54% of reported child sexual abuse
victims are girls and 46% are boys.
1 in 5 children in Utah will be sexually
abused before they turn 18.
UTAH
Did you know that child sexual abuse
costs Utah taxpayers approximately
$1 billion annually? This equates
to just over 2.7 million dollars
per day for Utah tax payers.
OF TRUST
90% of the time a child will be abused
by someone in their circle of trust, not a
stranger. The circle of trust can include
parents, relatives, child care providers or
anyone the child knows well or sees often.
Prevent Child Abuse Utah child
abuse prevention programs educate
children to recognize abuse, engage
children to practice safety strategies and
empower children to report abuse.

RULES

RECOGNIZE
RESIST
REPORT
Children who are abused and
receive the support and help needed
as soon as possible may not have any
negative lasting effects.
REPORT
In 1999, Utah’s “Duty to Report” law
was put into effect requiring all Utah
citizens, age 18 and older, to report
suspected child abuse and neglect.
IS RARE
Most children do not report sexual
abuse. In fact, 88% of adults who were
sexually abused as children stated they
never reported the abuse. It is estimated
that only 1 in 10 victims will report abuse.
