OBJECTIVE: This 15-year prospective, longitudinal study examines adolescent and young-adult female self-reports of traumatic sexual and physical experiences occurring subsequent to substantiated childhood sexual abuse-revictimizations (N=89). METHOD: These incidences were contrasted to sexual and physical victimizations reported by a group of non-abused comparison females (N=90). RESULTS: Abused females were almost twice as likely to have experienced sexual revictimization (odds=1.99+/-2.79, p<.05), and physical revictimization (odds=1.96+/-2.58, p<.05) as compared to victimization rates reported by comparison females. Abused females' revictimizations were also more likely to have been perpetrated by older, non-peers and characterized by physical injury than were victimizations reported by comparison females. CONCLUSION: Early childhood sexual abuse may provide information regarding the level of risk for recurrent sexual and physical victimization.
