Elderly and people with dementia

Elderly people, especially those with dementia, can be at risk of abuse. There were over 6,000 “safeguarding concerns and alerts” at UK care homes from 2013 to 2015.

Positions of power

{{See also|Abusive power and control|Power harassment|Rankism}}Sexual misconduct can occur where one person uses a position of authority to compel another person to engage in an otherwise unwanted sexual activity. For example, sexual harassment in the workplace might involve an employee being coerced into a sexual situation out of fear of being dismissed. Sexual harassment in education might involve a student submitting to the sexual advances of a person in authority in fear of being punished, for example by being given a failing grade.Several sexual abuse scandals have involved abuse of religious authority and often cover-up among non-abusers, including cases in the Southern Baptist Convention,WEB,stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm, StopBaptistPredators.org, stopbaptistpredators.org, 2010-01-18, 2021-01-23,stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm," title="web.archive.org/web/20210123043912stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm,">web.archive.org/web/20210123043912stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm, live, Catholic Church, Episcopalian religion,WEB,www.reformation.com/CSA/episcopalianabuse.html,www.reformation.com/CSA/episcopalianabuse.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20100214134233www.reformation.com/CSA/episcopalianabuse.html,">web.archive.org/web/20100214134233www.reformation.com/CSA/episcopalianabuse.html, dead, Episcopalian Ministers, February 14, 2010, Islam,WEB, Joe Murphy,www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/politics/baroness-warsi-some-pakistani-men-think-young-white-girls-are-fair-game-for-sex-abuse-7766319.html, Baroness Warsi: Some Pakistani men think young white girls are “fair game” for sex abuse - Politics - News - Evening Standard, Thisislondon.co.uk, 2012-05-18, 2012-06-02, 2012-06-06,www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/politics/baroness-warsi-some-pakistani-men-think-young-white-girls-are-fair-game-for-sex-abuse-7766319.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20120606093049www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/politics/baroness-warsi-some-pakistani-men-think-young-white-girls-are-fair-game-for-sex-abuse-7766319.html,">web.archive.org/web/20120606093049www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/politics/baroness-warsi-some-pakistani-men-think-young-white-girls-are-fair-game-for-sex-abuse-7766319.html, live, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Lutheran church,WEB,www.reformation.com/CSA/lutheranabuse.html,www.reformation.com/CSA/lutheranabuse.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20100110040936www.reformation.com/CSA/lutheranabuse.html,">web.archive.org/web/20100110040936www.reformation.com/CSA/lutheranabuse.html, dead, Lutheran abuse, January 10, 2010, Methodist Church,WEB,www.reformation.com/CSA/methodistabuse.html,www.reformation.com/CSA/methodistabuse.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20090625045228www.reformation.com/CSA/methodistabuse.html,">web.archive.org/web/20090625045228www.reformation.com/CSA/methodistabuse.html, dead, Methodist abuse, June 25, 2009, Anabaptist/Mennonite Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,BOOK, Anderson, Lavina, Case Reports of the Mormon Alliance Volume 1, 1995, 978-0-10-878835-2, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Orthodox Judaism,Abuse Scandal Plagues Hasidic Jews In Brooklyn {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180411111529www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99913807 |date=2018-04-11 }} by Barbara Bradley Hagerty.
