Millions of children worldwide are sexually abused every year, often by people close to them who are trusted members of their communities, such as teachers, coaches, priests and other well-respected authority figures. Studies on prevalence of child sexual abuse indicate that girls are more likely to experience sexual abuse than boys； however, based on these findings alone, it is unclear whether they are indeed more targeted than boys, or if differences in prevalence rates can be better accounted for by differences in rates of disclosure or methodological problems in research. Literature on child sexual abuse in sports suggests that several cultural factors play a role in the occurrence of abuse and rates of disclosure among male athletes. This clinical dissertation provides a review of the current literature on male child sexual abuse in sports and proposes empirical research methodology to examine the relationship between masculinity and delayed disclosure of child sexual abuse experiences among male athletes.
