Sexual Activity within Facility

C1

The next questions are about sexual contact that occurs in this facility. By sexual contact, we
mean sexual intercourse, oral sex, anal sex or any other touching or rubbing of someone else’s
private parts in a sexual way. By private parts, we mean any part of the body that would be
covered by a bathing suit.
RESPONDENT CAN CLICK ON “SEXUAL CONTACT” OR ON “PRIVATE PARTS”
ABOVE TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS:
By sexual contact we mean, sexual intercourse, oral sex, anal sex and any other touching
or rubbing of someone else’s private parts in a sexual way.
By private parts, we mean any part of the body that would be covered by a bathing suit.
Sexual contacts can happen to boys as well as girls. People who try to have sexual contact with
young people are not always strangers but can be someone they know well like a youth, a staff
member, teacher, counselor, or minister. People who try to have sexual contact with young people
aren’t always men or boys – they can also be women or girls. And sometimes people try to make
young people have sexual contact even if the young person doesn’t want to do it.
