The ASI is a very worrying phenomenon, however, the research on this topic in Peru is very scarce and more specifically in the different regions of the country, so in the present research work the forensic clinical characteristics of sexual abuse in minors are described. of age evaluated in the Legal Medical Unit (UML) Cajabamba (Peru) during the years 2018 to 2020; 164 legal medical certificates made by health professionals were analyzed. Among the findings we have: the average age of the minors was 12 years. 49.39% of the victims had primary education, of which 27.44% presented a recent tear, resulting in the most frequent type of hymen: the annular in 35.37%. On the other hand, 67.07% of the alleged attacks occurred on a working day and 31.10% of the alleged attacks were in a public place (outdoors such as in a park). The most frequent alleged aggressors were family acquaintances (31.71%). Lastly, in 38.41% of the presumed assaults, the presumed aggressor offered money. Further research is needed to better understand the cultural and social context of ASI in all regions of Peru and Latin American countries.
