In case of sexually attacked child presented to an health center, priority management must be protecting the physical and psychological health of the child. Clinical and other examinations have to be performed immediately and medicolegal report should also be prepared as soon as possible. It should be kept in mind that medicolegal report will provide the most substantial contribution to the subjects being sexually assaulted during the course of the judgement. It is the most important documentation that reflects the intensity of the event and the trauma experienced by the victim. From this perspective, medicolegal report has to cover all findings related to the event in a case of sexual assault. In this paper, the rules of examination of the sexually assaulted child, appropriate environment, the qualification of examiners and obligatory procedures for physicians before, during and after the examination were described.
