Molestation
Molestation refers to unwanted and inappropriate sexual behavior towards another person, often involving minors. It can include actions such as touching, fondling, or exposing oneself without consent. This behavior is considered a crime and can have serious emotional and psychological effects on the victim.
Victims of molestation may experience feelings of shame, confusion, and fear. Support from family, friends, and professionals is crucial for healing. Laws regarding child protection and sexual offenses vary by region, but many places have strict penalties for offenders to help deter such behavior and protect vulnerable individuals.
