Serla Meenan, a professional officer at the Western Trust Social Care and Learning Development and Governance Team, said: "During the Sexual Violence and Abuse Awareness Week I want to remind people that sexual violence and abuse can happen at any age regardless of identity. If this is happening to you I encourage you to reach out.
"If you are aware of it I encourage you to report it. It's never ok and it's never acceptable. Don't let it continue.
