abstract="Sexual assault perpetrated against older adults remains understudied. This research examined sexual assault incidents perpetrated against older women and men (aged 60+) reported to law enforcement. It compared these sexual assault incidents with those committed against middle-age (aged 40-59) and younger (aged 18-39) women and men. National Incident-Based Reporting System data (1992-2015) were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression models. <br><br>FINDINGS showed incidents involving an older woman, relative to a middle-age and/or younger woman, were significantly more likely to involve stranger perpetrators, occur at a private location, and involve additional violent crime or property crime. Incidents involving an older man, relative to a middle-age and/or younger man, were significantly more likely to involve offenders of more than one sex, older offenders, stranger perpetrators, and additional violent crime or property crime. <br><br>RESULTS are discussed in relation to prior work and future directions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
