At least 93% of children know their attacker and 58.7% of them are acquaintances. To cope with sexual assault, children under the age of 18 may turn to drugs or alcohol, which could change who that child once was. For example, they give up past hobbies and activities, show aggression, irritability, depression or hopelessness. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) “Compared to non-victims, rape survivors are 3.4 times more likely to use marijuana, 6 times more likely to use cocaine, and 120 times more likely to use other major drugs ". .” All in all, the effects of raping a child can be both short-term and long-term.
