Teens, young men recount sexual abuse by women

A new study reveals that a large proportion of teenage boys and college men report having been coerced into sex or sexual behavior.

As published online in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity, researchers from the University of Missouri discovered 43 percent of high school boys and young college men reported they had an unwanted sexual experience and of those, 95 percent said a female acquaintance was the aggressor.

"Sexual victimization continues to be a pervasive problem in the United States, but the victimization of men is rarely explored," said lead author Bryana H. French, Ph.D.
