[Rape of men happens too].

The Department of Forensic Medicine, Copenhagen, perform clinical forensic examinations of sexually assaulted victims at the request of the police. Three cases with male victims are presented and the forensic focus in these cases is discussed. It is important to report lesions and to secure saliva and semen for DNA analysis correctly to form an important part of the subsequent police investigation and ultimately the legal proceeding. We believe that rape of men is underreported, and that more information can help men initially with reporting to the police and help focusing on the right prophylaxis for this group.
