Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Done in child and family protection centres in Khartoum State from September 2012 to January 2013. All children were interviewed via a questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors and consequences of child sexual abuse were tested using HADS __ampersandsignamp; MINI scales. Results: This study summarizes what is currently known about these potential impacts of child sexual abuse. The various problems and symptoms described in the literature on child sexual abuse are reviewed in a series of broad categories. Children from all backgrounds are vulnerable to CSA but in this study younger children were more vulnerable as they constitute 53.4%. Among them 62.14% were females. Age, family status, number of household and number of rooms and low economic level were found to be associated with CSA. There is a high level of contact sexual abuse 94.17%. There is a low rate of interfamilial sexual abuse 17.48%. There is a high rate of disclosure 56.7%. Result from the high light behavioural consequence of CSA as it shows its association with posttraumatic stress disorder to be 25.2%, anxiety to be 47.57%, and depression to be 35.29%. Conclusion: Research has demonstrated that the extent to which a given individual manifests abuse-related distress is a function of an undetermined number of abuse-specific variables, as well as individual and environmental factors that existed before, or occurred after, the incidents of sexual abuse.&#13;
