S. Gromb et Hj. Lazarini, AN UNUSUAL CASE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ON AN INFANT - AN INTRAPERITONEAL CANDLE IN A 20-MONTH-OLD GIRL, Forensic science international, 94(1-2), 1998, pp. 15-18
The recent publication of cases of sexual abuse and child prostitution
networks may have the harmful effect of arousing latent desires or ca
using sexual delinquents to act out their impulses. The authors report
a recent case in which a wax candle was introduced into the vagina of
a 20-month-old baby. The forensic description is given and provisiona
l conclusions are drawn. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All ri
