Cultic Childhood Abuse As a Risk for Commercial Sexual Exploitation: A Proposed Correlational Study on Second-Generation Adult Cult Survivors

I propose examining the connection between group psychological abuse and the risk of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) in second-generation adults (SGAs) born and raised in cults. The PAEGS, HTIAM-14, and diverse recruitment will potentially reveal a positive correlation between severe abuse in cultic childhoods and SGAs’ elevated risk for CSE.
