Increasing the awareness of characteristics associated with DFSA can assist the judicial system in early recognition of cases and guide public health interventions for reducing DFSA. This study aims to assess characteristics of DFSA victims compared to victims of non-DFSA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 643 females from the age of 15, examined at Center for Victims of Sexual Assault (CVSA), Copenhagen, Denmark from 2021 to 2023.

DFSA was associated with occurring at a public place, or the home of a friend. More injuries were observed in cases examined within 24\u00a0h of the assault. Ethanol, cocaine, and THC were the most frequent substances. Victims of sexual assault under 18 years have more reports to child protection services compared to the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In inebriated, young victims with memory loss, stating an assault at a public place the concern for DFSA should be raised.
