Sexual exploitation means taking the advantage of sexuality and attractiveness of a person to make a personal gain or profit. It is the abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust for sexual purposes.

Remember my experience involved a police officer, but needless to say, it could be a teacher, pastor, counselor, doctor etc. (anyone who has authority and power over the individual.) For more information on these kinds of relationships please go to AdvocateWeb. If you or someone you know has been emotionally or sexually exploited in psychotherapy or other healthcare setting, please go to TELL for more information on this type of sexual exploitation.
