ABSTRACT Background: Sexual assault is a worldwide crime that occurs in most countries. Most sexual assaults are not reported and hidden, thus there are no accurate statistics on how many offenses occur. Purpose:  A retrospective descriptive statistical study to investigate the pattern of sexual assaults in Aswan from archives of Forensic Medicine Authority for years (2010 to 2015). Results: Male victims represented more than half (54.3%) of the reported cases and mostly were adolescents and unmarried. The mean of victims' age was 15.15, while the mean of age of assailants was 22 years old. There was a strong positive correlation between age of victims and age of the assailants.  89.1% of the cases were either anal or vaginal penetration or both (52.1%, 28.3%, and 8.7% respectively). 84.62% of anal penetrative assaults victims were males. Seminal fluid of the assailant was detected in only 6 (13%) of the reported cases. 4 victims died after the assault; one male victim showed fractures of skull bones and brain lacerations.   Three female victims was poisoned by hair dyes. Conclusion. It is necessary to emphasize that males also could be victims of sexual assault and male children are at significant risk of sexual abuse.
