Child sexual abuse, including acts of apparent ritual mutilation, has reached alarming proportions in Kenya with perpetrators using brutal and sophisticated means to keep their victims silent, according to a nationwide study.

"Alarmingly, the most common form of abuse against children appear to be sexual abuse that takes the form of defilement, oral sex, exposing children to pornography and prostitution, amongst others," she said.
