Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual act against someone’s sexuality, practiced by any person regardless of their relationship with the victim and in any scenario. Literature about sexual violence against male children is scarce. The goal of this work was to describe the libidinous acts referred to vulnerable males who attended the Program Bem Me Quer, of the Department of Public Safety of the State of São Paulo, in 2014. Secondary goals included the description of the age of the alleged victims, interpersonal relationship with the alleged aggressor, the time interval between the alleged violence and the forensic examination, presence of body injuries and positive identification of sperm. A retrospective analysis of data collected from forensic examinations in 2014 was carried out. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, we studied the reports of 127 vulnerable males. The most frequently cited alleged libidinous act was anal intercourse (25%). The average age of the alleged victims was 6,85 years. The most common alleged aggressor was a known person (25%). In 23% of the cases, the forensic examination was carried out within 24 hours. A total of 10% of the cases had mild body injuries. There was no positive identification of sperm, which hinders the verification of sexual violence.
