Abstract

Although there is no agreed-upon definition of incest by the authorities, it is defined as all sexual advances between people with close blood ties, including step relatives, who are prohibited from marrying. Incest is a behavior that is prohibited in many cultures and religions. 10-year-old male patient was referred to us by the prosecutor's office for internal and external examination after it was determined that he was abused by his older brother. From the statements, it was learned that there is an ongoing incestuous relationship between the sister and the 2 brothers. During anal examination; Signs of chronic sodomy were observed, in which the anal folds were flattened and the anal entrance funneled. Incest is the most severe type of sexual abuse, and the victim's exposure to this behavior by people they trusts and who are normally responsible for caring for and raising him creates serious trust problems for the victim.
