SEXUAL ABUSE occurs when another person engages in sexual behavior with a student and:
(a) The other person bribes, coerces, threatens or is violent towards the student;
(b) The student has less power than the other person;
(c) There is significant disparity between the student and the other person in intellectual capacity and/or maturity.
LIKELY SEXUAL ABUSE occurs when a student has not been sexually abused but unless someone intervenes, it is more probable than not that they will be sexually abused.
Sexual Abuse can involve:
• Touching, kissing, fondling a student in a sexual manner
• Exposing a child to pornography or taking sexual images of a child
• Making sexually suggestive comments or gestures towards a student
