To identify the notion, recognition and coping method of sexual assault of adolescents, this study conducted a survey on 1,022 students in 7 districts of T city, from Nov 10 to Dec 12, 2008. For the data analysis, SPSS 14.0 program was used. The study found followings: The notion, recognition and coping method of sexual assault showed a statistically significant difference for grades of respondents. High school students marked the lowest scores in the recognition and coping method of sexual assault. The items that garnered the lowest scores are: in the notion of sexual assault, 'sexual assault occurs by sexual discrimination,' in the recognition of sexual assault, 'Persons who are talking a lot about sex are a person who sexually assaults someone.' and in the coping method of sexual assault, 'after being sexually assaulted, should take a bath and change clothes. The study found that women got higher scores in notion, recognition and coping method than male respondents. Respondents who have both parents and whose parents have higher education showed higher scores in coping method of sexual assault. Also, respondents who contact they mainly saw obscene materials through computer and they were exposed to those materials through computer or TV at home or internet cafe got higher scores in the notion and coping method of sexual assault. There is a static correlation among the notion, recognition and coping method of sexual assault. Those findings suggests that more studies should be ducted on improving knowledge on sexual assault for high school students, propagating the knowledge of obtaining forensic proofs and revealing the relationship between parent factor and knowledge of sexual assault by exposure to obscene materials while students should be provided with sexual assault prevention programs that will be developed based on such more studies. And the study recommends that for making the education for preventing sexual violence effective in reality more follow-up programs are developed and their execution is ensured.

강제추행죄 성립 범위의 적정한 한계

박정난 한국경찰법학회 2023 경찰법연구 Vol.21 No.1

The crime of rape does not require further interpretation on action of rape as sexual intercourse itself is the action of rape. However, indecent assault requires further interpretation on what the ‘indecent assault’ is as types of indecent assault is various. The Supreme Court interprets the crime of indecent assault as ‘an action that objectively causes sexual shame or disgust in the general public and violates victim’s sexual freedom’, which is too comprehensive and polysemantic for normal people who have common sense of law to decide whether the indecent assault is established or not. Moreover, vast discretion of interpretation of the Judge has the problem that inconsistent and unfair judgements can be made toward similar cases. Therefore, in this paper, after critically reviewing the corpus delicti of indecent assault, based on this, the appropriate limitations on the scope of the establishment of indecent assault were examined while considering some types that establishment of indecent assault can be discussed. Since most indecent assault is in the form of so-called indecent assault in blitz, and as physical contact that lacks consent itself is ‘indecent’ assault, current legislations and precedents which require another action to establish indecent assault need to be reconsidered. Anglo-American, and even German provisions do not require further actions to establish the crime as long as nonconsent is proved. Furthermore, what the indecent assault protects is freedom not to engage in unwanted sexual acts, in other words, freedom not to let others use oneself for sexual acts. Others using oneself for sexual acts is available when there is physical contact at least. Thus, it is reasonable to admit the crime of indecent assault only when there is physical contact, and it is stipulated that the crime of indecent assault is established only by physical contact in Anglo-American legislations, and German provisions. In the context following the above paragraph, it is difficult to say that forcing someone to see his genitals and masturbation acts in a closed space without physical contact constitutes the crime of indecent assault. Even if there is no explicit assault or threat, if the victim cannot easily escape as the space is closed, actor can be punished as the crime of compulsion by admitting the broad concept of assault. Furthermore legislation to punish people who harass others by exposing genitals, which is so called the crime of exposure, can be made just as Germany and the U.K. do. Ejaculating or throwing sperm toward other’s body or clothing should be punished as the crime of indecent assault as it is sexual contact. However, urinating or throwing urine toward other’s body or clothing should be punished as a crime of assault or destruction as the victim would feel not sexual humiliation but ‘dirtiness.’ In the case of putting semen on a thing of others, it is hard to be regarded as a crime of indecent assault as there is no ‘physical contact’, but an enactment of legislation to punish the action as a part of sexual offense needs to be considered as the action is a sort of ‘sexual harassment’ toward specific person unlike the normal crime of destruction. On the other hand, if the Defendant forced the Victim to sexually touch his or her body, the Victim’s hand and foot are only tools for contact and can be identified with the Defendant’s own contact, so an indirect principal offender of indecent assault is established. It can be also applied for the case that the Defendant compelled the Victim to harass a third party, thus the Defendant will be punished as an indirect principal offender of indecent assault. In addition, there are various kinds of sexual behaviors which cause victim sexual humiliation or disgust, which are so-called sexual harassment. These behaviors should be punished as the crime of compulsion or obscene performance as long as the actions are not the sort of phys...

폭행의 본질과 폭행죄

조훈 인하대학교 법학연구소 2020 法學硏究 Vol.23 No.3

The title of Article 260 of the Korean Criminal Code is "“assault : Crime of Violence[Gewalt]”. The definition is as follows: "A person who uses violence against another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine not exceeding five million won, detention, or a minor fine[https://elaw.klri.re.kr]". However, this description of assault is not enough to describe the nature of assault. So far it has been recognized by jurisprudence and legal theories that “the development of force[die Kraftentfaltung]” or “acting on the body[Einwirkung auf den Körper]” is the essence of assault. The question begins at the point of whether there is any essential difference that distinguishes it from coercion, and if so what the nature of the assault in the assault crime should be. This becomes clear. if a comparative legal approach to the concept of assault in Germany and Japan is drawn into this analysis. It should be followed: Given that the same word[Gewalt] is used but the legal system gives different meanings, the concept of assault in Korean criminal law should at itself be independent and for itself logically valid. The aim of this study is to find the concept of pure assault, which has no coercive effect, and to try to assess the criminal law validity of the regulation. 한국 형법 제260조가 「폭행」이라고 하여, 그 구성요건을 ‘사람의 신체에 대하여 폭행을 가한 자’라고 규정하지만, 정작 폭행죄에 있어서 폭행이 무엇을 의미하는지 그 본질에 대한 설명은 생략되어 있다. 판례, 통설이 인정하는 바와 같이 ‘신체적 유형력의 행사’라고 파악하면, 과연 강요죄에서 요구되는 폭행과 구분되는 본질적 차이가 있는지 그리고 있다면 그 실체는 무엇인지가 먼저 분석되어야, 폭행죄에 있어서 폭행의 본질이 명확하게 될 것이다. 그 분석을 위하여 독일. 일본에서의 폭행 개념에 대한 비교법적 접근이 따라야 하는데, 같은 단어가 사용됨에도 법체계에 따라 다른 뜻이 부여되고 있다는 점을 고려하면, 한국 형법에서의 폭행 개념 자체는 그 자체로 독자적이며 법체계 내에서의 논리적 타당성을 지녀야 할 것이다. 강요의 효과가 부여되지 않는 순수한 폭행 개념을 찾고 그 규정이 형법적으로 타당할 것인지에 대한 판단을 시도하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.

14세기 초 영국에서의 범죄 실태와 그 처벌 : 폭행사건을 중심으로

洪成杓(Hong Seong-Pyo) 역사교육연구회 2003 역사교육 Vol.88 No.-

The objective of this article is to search the answers of the following questions. First, who did commit assault, men or women? Did men commit mainly outrage or women did? And why? Second, what did make use of instrument to commit violence? Third, how did put on trial to a criminal suspect for assault? Fourth, what is social viewpoint about assault. How can village or town community prevent assault? Did they enforce system to prevent assault? In order to explain the answers of all these questions, I study Calendar of Patent Rolls and Wakefield Court Rolls(1279~1347), which is court record of Wakefield manor in Yorkshire. I analyze 369 cases and I can finally reach to the following conclusions. According to Professor Barbara A. Hanawalt, crime increased during the Great Famine(1315~1317). Her contention is right, but the crime, which is related to assault, did not only increase because of the Great Famine. During that period, King Edward invaded Scotland for several years. From every point of view, we must trace the origins of increase of crime in the early fourteenth century England. Many persons, several men or women, used violence to one or a few persons on the whole. And assault related to plunder a person of his/her goods, especially com and livestock. Contrary to expectations of professor Barbara A. Hanawalt, I can find that women participated in assault is more small in number than men, but it is not different the method of assault between men and women. Assault did not occur between collateral relation but chiefly appeared between non-blood relation. Because of the king"s peace and the common welfare, an offender of assault was chiefly punished by a fine from 6 pence to 12 pence. By the way it is not different to be fined for doing assault between men and women. The main function of the frankpledge system was to provide mutual surety as well as crime prevention. Each frankpledge unit was divided into a number of tithings which were intended to contain ten men. With respect to one who has taken to flight, careful inquiry must be made as to whether he is to enter a tithing or not. If every tithings are not inspected by sheriff twice a year, the tithings will be amerced before the justices for not producing the said malefactor for trial. By this system, we can understand how medieval English tithings make efforts for the prevention of criminal offences and social disorder.

스포츠 성폭력의 실태, 규제와 대책

윤상민 한국스포츠엔터테인먼트법학회 2011 스포츠와 법 Vol.14 No.1

The discussion of the issue of sexual assault in sports actively began since the sexual harassment incident by the Woori Bank professional women's basketball team coach that occurred in 2007. The sexual assault in sports became a social issue through this incident. A research was conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea after the incident on athletes, revealing a shocking result that 63.8% of the research participants experienced sexual assault. In spite of this, the reality is that the present condition of sexual assault in sports cannot be accurately identified due to the closed-off nature in the field of sports. In addition, there have not been any special countermeasures devised against sexual assault in sports. However, there is a limitation in the prevention of sexual assault and any reoccurrences simply through legislative countermeasure due to the special nature of the field of sports. The countermeasure also needs to be devised based on accurate understanding of the special nature of the field of sports. In this regard, the cause and present condition of sexual assault in sports will be examined in this thesis centering on the existing study results as well as the present legal sanctions against sexual assault to present presentive measures against sexual assault considering the special nature of the field of sports. 우리 사회에서 스포츠 성폭력이 본격적으로 논의되기 시작한 것은 2007년 발생한 우리은행 여자프로농구팀 감독의 여성선수 성추행 사건과 2008년 초 KBS 시사기획 <쌈>의 ‘2008 스포츠와 성폭력에 대한 인권보고서’ 보도가 있고 난 후이다. 이후 국가인권위원회가 이화여대 산학협력단에 의뢰하여 운동선수를 대상으로 조사한 결과에 의하면, 전체 조사대상자의 63.8%가 성폭력 피해를 겪은 것으로 나타나 충격을 주었다. 이러한 현실에도 불구하고 스포츠계의 폐쇄성으로 인해 성폭력 실태를 정확하게 파악할 수 없는 게 현실이며, 이렇다 할 대책이 마련되어 있지 못한 것 또한 현실이다. 스포츠 성폭력은 스포츠계의 조직 특성상 매우 은밀하게 발생하는 경우가 많으며, 그 대상도 지도자와 제자(학생)간, 선후배간, 동료간 등 복잡한 구조 속에서 발생한다. 이는 스포츠계의 불평등한 권력구조, 위계적인 폭력문화와 구조적으로 연관이 있다. 이러한 스포츠계의 구조를 이해하는 측면에서 성폭력에 대한 대책도 수립되어야 한다. 먼저 성폭력을 예방하기 위해서는 이에 대한 예방교육이 철저하게 이루어져야 하며, 이 교육은 운동선수, 지도자 모두를 대상으로 이루어져야 한다. 이를 통해 운동선수나 지도자의 성인지 능력을 향상시켜야 한다. 정책당국의 경우에도 현실적이고 효과적인 예방정책을 수립하고 일관되게 이를 집행하는 것이 필요하다. 어떤 사건이 발생할 때만 임시방편으로 대책을 수립하고 시간이 지나면 흐지부지해지는 정책당국의 자세에 변화가 있어야 한다. 또한 성폭력이 발생하였을 경우 법이 허용하는 범위 내에서 가해자에 대한 신속하고 엄격한 처벌이 이루어져야 한다. 이를 통해 일반예방적 효과를 거둘 필요도 있다. 성폭력의 경우 피해자가 겪는 피해를 빨리 회복시키는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다. 그러기 위해서는 스포츠 성폭력 피해가 발생하였을 경우 이에 대해 신속하고 적절하게 대응할 수 있는 전문적인 상담·치료 시설이 필요하다. 이러한 시설들은 스포츠 성폭력을 이해하고 이 이해의 바탕 속에서 보호와 지원이 이루어 질 수 있는 전문적인 단체이어야 하며, 이 단체의 운영은 피해자의 접근성과 신분보장을 위해 민간전문단체가 운영하여야 한다. 스포츠 성폭력 대책에 있어서 무엇보다도 중요한 것은 스포츠계의 폐쇄성이 타파되어야 한다는 점이다. 이를 통해 사회의 시선이 항상 스포츠 성폭력을 감시하도록 하는 체계가 확립되어야 한다.

학령전기 유아성폭력: 성폭력 전문의료기관에서의 경험

김광준 ( Gwang Jun Kim ) 대한산부인과학회 2007 Obstetrics & Gynecology Science Vol.50 No.1

연구목적: 성폭력은 피해자의 연령에 따라 주 활동시간대와 장소, 사회적 환경의 차이가 크므로 연령대별로 구분하여 연구할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 만 6세 이하의 학령전기 유아 성폭력의 특성을 조사하여 적절한 처치나 예방에 도움이 되는 기초자료를 만들고자 하였다. 연구 대상 및 방법: 2001년 9월 1일부터 2004년 8월 31까지 만 3년간 경인지역 성폭력 응급진료센터를 방문한 성폭력 피해자 210명 중 만 2세에서 만 7세 미만의 성폭력피해 유아 25명을 대상으로 별도로 작성된 성폭력 진료기록지와 표준화된 성폭력키트를 사용하여 범행시간, 장소, 신체적 피해, 범행방법, 가해자의 특징 등을 조사 후 분석하였다. 결과: 유아성폭력 피해자는 전체 성폭력 피해자의 11.9%를 차지하였다. 유아 성폭력은 오후 2시에서 6시 사이에 가장 높은 발생 빈도를 보였으며 장소는 놀이터나 아파트 옥상이 가장 흔한 범행장소였다. 가해자 연령은 30대가 7예 (28%), 초등학교나 중학교 저학년 남아가 6예 (24%)로 많았다. 성폭력의 수단은 별 다른 방법이 사용되지 않았던 경우가 16예 (64%)로 대부분이었다. 가해자가 성기를 삽입하려고 하거나 성기에 접촉한 경우는 6예 (24%)에서 있었으며 대부분은 성기를 손가락으로 만지거나 애무를 한 경우였다. 중한 성기 손상이나 성기 외 상처를 입은 피해자는 없었으며, 성폭력 후유증으로 정신과 치료가 필요했던 경우가 6명 (24%) 있었다. 결론: 유아 성폭력 피해자는 다른 연령대의 성폭력 피해자와 범행장소, 범행방법, 호발 시간대, 가해자 특성이 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 결과는 재범의 위험도가 높은 유아 성폭력의 재발 방지나 예방에 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다. Objective: Life cycles and social environments are different among sexual assault victims according to ages, a study of sexual assault should be individualized by specific age groups. The aim of this study was to make basic data for proper management or prevention of infant sexual assaults by evaluating experiences at sexual assault clinic. Methods: Two hundreds and ten sexual assault victims referred to specialized sexual assault clinic in teaching hospital. There were 25 infant victims aged 2 to 6 years, then retrospective chart reviews were done. Collecting evidences and managements processes were carried out by the female obstetric doctors who were specially trained to manage sexual assault patients. Analysis was done to determine the frequency, location and severity of genital and non genital physical trauma and the site and time of the assault, the nature of the physical contacts, use of weapons were recorded. Results: Infant sexual assaults occupies 11.9% of all sexual assault cases. Those occurred frequently between 14:00 to 18:00 (44%). Play-grounds or rooftop of apartments were the most frequent place (52%) for assault. Genital fondling with finger was the most frequent type of assaults. Vaginal intercourses tried in 6 cases (24%). No severe genital or body wounds observed. Specific psychologic treatments were needed in 6 infants (24%). Conclusion: Infant sexual assaults were different from other age groups of victims in place, type, time, assailant characteristics.

김재엽(Jae Yop Kim),이효정(Hyo Jeong Lee),송아영(A Young Song) 연세대학교 사회복지연구소 2007 한국사회복지조사연구 Vol.17 No.-

본 연구에서는 남자 청소년을 대상으로 가정폭력 경험이 성폭력 가해행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 폭력허용도의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 서울 및 경기 지역을 4대 권역으로 나누어 모두 24개의 학교를 임의로 선정하여 중학교 3학년과 고등학교 1,2학년 남학생을 상대로 조사한 결과, 조사대상자 581명 중 182명인 31.3%가 지난 1년 동안 성폭력 가해행위의 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 성폭력 가해행위는 크게 언어적 성폭력과 신체적 성폭력으로 나뉘는데, 전자의 경우 30.2%, 후자의 경우 11.3%의 학생들이 경험을 한 것으로 조사되었다. 다음으로 가정폭력 경험의 실태를 조사한 결과 부의 자녀폭력을 경험한 학생들이 48.4%로 가장 많았으며, 본 연구의 분석집단의 부의 모 폭력을 목격한 학생들은 42.3%로 이 역시 높은 수치임을 알 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 가정폭력 경험이 남자 청소년의 성폭력 가해행위에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 가정폭력 경험이 성폭력 가해에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 통제된 변인 중에서는 인터넷 음란물 이용정도가 높을수록 성폭력 가해를 할 가능성이 높다는 것이 통계적으로 검증되었다. 또한 가정폭력 경험이 폭력허용도에, 폭력허용도가 성폭력 가해행위에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 가정폭력 경험이 높을수록 폭력허용도가 높았으며, 폭력허용도가 높을수록 성폭력 가해행위를 할 가능성이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 마지막으로 가정폭력 경험이 성폭력 가해행위에 미치는 영향에서 폭력허용도의 매개효과를 검증하기 위해 Aroian 검증을 실시해본 결과, 폭력허용도의 매개효과는 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 남자 청소년들이 성폭력 가해자가 되는 것을 방지하기 위한 가족적ㆍ개인적 차원의 개입의 합의를 논의하였다. This Research examined the influences of the experiences of family violence on the male adolescent’s sexual assault and explored whether the acceptability of violence has mediating effect or not. Out of total 581 boys in the research group, 31.3% done sexual assault in the previous year. In this research, sexual assault divided by two groups, the verbal sexual assault and the physical sexual assault. According to the research, 30.2% of boys done verbal sexual assault and 11.3% of boys done physical sexual assault. And 42.3% of boys have experienced the violence from father to mother. The experience of family violence was proven to be significantly influential to male adolescent’s sexual assault. And the acceptability of violence was proven to be influential the relationship between the influences of the experiences of family violence and the male adolescent’s sexual assault. Thus the acceptability of violence does a role as the part mediating effect between the influences of the experiences of family violence and the male adolescent’s sexual assault. Based on thee findings, the research discussion extended to the implication of an intervention that reduces the experiences of family violence and lowers the acceptability of violence to prevent male adolescent’s sexual assault.

Assault-related Factors and Trauma-related Cognitions Associated with Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms in High-distress and Low-distress Korean Female Victims of Sexual Assault

Kyoung Min Shin,Yujin Kim,Young-Ki Chung,장형윤 대한의학회 2020 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.35 No.19

Background: Information about the factors involved in the progress of both high distressed and low distressed victims in the early days after a sexual assault are needed to provide effective intervention for victims of sexual assault. In this study, we examined the relationship among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, assault-related factors and trauma-related cognitions in Korean female victims of sexual assault. Methods: For this study, we retrospectively investigated the records of 94 female victims from the Sunflower Center for Women and Children Victims of Violence at the Ajou University Hospital in Korea. Demographic characteristics and the features of the sexual assault, post- traumatic stress symptoms, and trauma-related cognition were obtained from data recorded at the initial assessment. One month after the initial assessment, victims were contacted by telephone and their PTSD symptom severity was re-evaluated. The sample of 94 participants were divided into two groups depending on the PTSD symptom scale scores at initial assessment: High-distress group and Low-distress group. Results: Repeated-measured analyses of variance revealed that the high-distress group showed a decrease in PTSD symptom severity over the month, while the low-distress group did not show significant change of PTSD symptom severity. In correlation analysis, negative thoughts and beliefs about the assault were strongly correlated with PTSD symptom severity one month later in both the low-distress and high-distress groups. Conclusion: Our results suggest that trauma-related cognitions seem to play an important role in the maintenance of PTSD both of high-distress and low-distress groups, and that effective intervention will need to address these cognitive factors.

성폭력범죄의 행위유형에 대한 비판적 형법도그마틱

김성돈(Kim, Seong-Don) 성균관대학교 법학연구소 2011 성균관법학 Vol.23 No.2

Criminal law regulates sexual assault by two representative type of crime, which are ‘rape’ and ‘sexual abuse’. Excluding violence and threatening, the type of act that is common in both kind of sexual assault, rape is considered as an adultery and the latter goes under abuse. In this case, adultery is understood as sexual intercourse between male and female. Therefore, if there were no genital interaction, then it must be subsumed as an sexual abuse and it is penalized at a substantially lower sentence. However, it is questionable whether such reaction of present criminal law appropriate to recent conditions of sexual assault. When the Phenomenon of today’s sexual assault is looked at, it can be seen that sexual assault is frequently occurred as anal intercourse and oral intercourse etc. especially on vulnerable victims such as Children and adolescents. This is a completely different scenario than past phenomenons of sexual assault. Therefore, this essay has focused anal intercourse or oral intercourse and have examined following points in order to provide assessment of criminal law. First, the problems of attitude of present criminal law has been looked at. Secondly, issues associated with attempts to include anal intercourse or oral intercourse into criminal law has been scrutinized. Lastly, it has been studied whether it is reasonable to constitutionalize anal intercourse or oral intercourse into system of sexual assault while considering how to classify anal intercourse or oral intercourse into criminal law in order to be realistic and to effectively protect the right of sexual self-determination. These following statements are the concluded solutions. It is necessary to assort type of sexual assault into three categories in order to pursue accuracy and legal stability by maintaining traditional definition of adultery as well as to take violent anal intercourse or oral intercourse into greater consideration than sexual abuse. Secondly, rape should be restricted to adultery caused by violence or threat, akin to present rape. Furthermore, psudo sexual intercourse is to be broken down into two categories of anal intercourse or oral intercourse and the others in order to keep Schuldprinzip bzw. Bestimmtheitgrudsatz. Thirdly, sexual abuse should allow all the other type of acts that do not go under rape or any of the two psudo sexual intercourse categories.

성인 여성의 성폭력 피해경험 유형화 연구: 전국 성폭력 실태조사를 중심으로

최지현,김기현,김재엽 한국사회복지연구회 2019 사회복지연구 Vol.50 No.4

Characteristics of sexual assault such as types of assault, number of occurrence, and relationship with a perpetrator are not independent from one another but are closely interrelated and they constitute individual’s experience as a whole. This study aims to typologize the characteristics of sexual assault experienced by adult females using LCA (latent class analysis) and to understand the relationship between the obtained classes of characteristics and the sequelae of the survivors. This study analyzed 348 cases from the Nationwide Survey of Sexual Assault in Korea and discovered four subgroups of survivors based on the distinct combination of assault characteristics. The subgroups showed statistically significant differences in pain, changes in life, and mental health after the assault. In particular, a group with ‘rape, attempt rape, fondle, kiss, or rubbing by friends’ and a group with ‘sexual harassment, unwanted touch or contact in the workplace’ showed worse mental health outcomes than the other two groups. The authors discusses theoretical and practical implications of the findings and provide suggestions for future research. 성폭력 피해 특성인 피해 유형, 횟수, 피해 연령, 가해자와의 관계 등은 개별적인 특성이 아닌 성폭력 사건 내에서 복잡하게 얽혀있는 총체적인 피해의 경험이다. 본 연구는 성인 여성이 경험한 성폭력 피해 특성들을 잠재계층분석(LCA)을 통해 유형화하고, 도출된 유형화 집단별로 성폭력 피해로 인한 후유증과 변화를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 전국 성폭력 실태조사 데이터를 사용하였으며, 이 중 성인기에 성폭력 피해 경험이 있는 348사례를 분석에 활용하였다. 분석결과 성폭력 유형과 가해자와의 관계가 다양하게 조합된 4개의 하위유형-가까운 사람에 의한 심각한 성폭력 피해, 업무상 아는 사람에 의한 희롱과 추행 피해, 30세 이후의 심한 성추행 피해, 모르는 사람에 의한 가벼운 추행 피해-이 발견되었다. 이들 하위유형간의 성폭력 이후의 고통이나 변화, 정신건강의 수준은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 특히, ‘가까운 사람에 의한 심각한 성폭력 피해’ 와 ‘업무상 아는 사람에 의한 희롱과 추행 피해’ 집단은 다른 두 집단에 비해 정신건강 수준이 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 기존의 성폭력 피해 특성 관련 연구들과의 차이 및 연구결과의 함의를 논의하였고, 실천적 제언과 후속 연구방향을 제안하였다.
