Retrieved December 20, 2002, from EPSCO Database -Academic Search Premier: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=3338142&db=aph Note: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends forensic evidence collection when sexual abuse has occurred within 72 hours, or when there is bleeding or acute injury.

This study describes the epidemiology of forensic evidence findings in prepubertal victims of sexual assault
