La presente tesis propone demostrar los efectos psico-fisicos de la participacion de niños, niñas y adolescentes victimas de abuso sexual infantil intrafamiliar, durante las acrtuaciones judiciales dedicadas a producir evidencias certeras del abuso y de la identidad del agresor. Es una investigacion descriptiva, de tipo cualitativa-cuantitativa, que se basa en el estudio retrospectivo de las variables independientes obtenidas de una muestra de casos particulares de niños, niñas y adolescentes victimas de abuso sexual intrafamiliar, que participaron de la declaratoria testimonial; de un estudio de dos casos de menores victimas de abuso sexual intrafamiliar, que no participaron de la instancia judicial testimonial; y de una muestra basada en la informacion aportada por profesionales de diversas disciplinas sobre su propia experiencia con esta problematica de vulneracion de derechos sexuales de la poblacion infanto juvenil.

This thesis aims to demonstrate the psycho-physical effects of the participation of children and adolescents who are victims of intra-family child sexual abuse during judicial proceedings dedicated to producing reliable evidence of the abuse and the identity of the aggressor.
This is a descriptive, qualitative-quantitative study based on a longitudinal, retrospective, and evolutionary study of the independent variables analyzed. These variables are obtained from a sample of individual cases of children and adolescents who were victims of domestic sexual abuse and who participated in the testimonial statements; from a study of two cases of minors who were victims of domestic sexual abuse and who did not participate in the testimony statements; and from a sample based on information provided by professionals from various disciplines about their own experiences with this problem of violation of the sexual rights of the child and adolescent population.
This research aims to explore whether there are symptomatic and psycho-emotional variations in the samples studied, at two different times: before and after the testimony of the minor, during his/her participation in the judicial process; as well as to carry out a comparative study with the cases of minors who are victims of intra-family sexual abuse and who did not attend the testimonial stage.
To this end, a list of variables classified into demographic and symptomatic categories was drawn up, based on the bibliographic contributions of nationally and internationally recognized authors whose publications are included in reliable scientific sources; along with the data obtained from the review of the clinical records of the individual cases, which received medium- and long-term follow-up. The variables studied were then systematized through the development of a structured questionnaire, to be administered to professionals from different disciplines with experience in caring for victims of child sexual abuse. The results obtained from the three samples were translated into statistical graphs to facilitate comparative analysis of the variables analyzed.
An analysis of the data obtained from the structured questionnaire completed by the professionals who collaborated with the survey shows that, for a large number of victims, the progress of their condition is unknown due to a lack of follow-up after their testimony.
Meanwhile, in the case of the underage victims who received a follow-up, both samples of victims who participated in the testimony process showed a recurrence of exacerbations and/or the emergence of psychiatric and/or psychosomatic symptoms, such as emotional, dermatological, respiratory, digestive, endocrine/metabolic, defiant behaviors, and hypersexualization.
Based on the results obtained from the study of the two samples of minors who provided testimony, it can be concluded that there is a need to review the modalities of judicial action in cases of intrafamilial child sexual abuse, which guarantee the prevention of judicial re-victimization of minors subjected to the testimonial hearing, in which they are required to provide identifying information about their aggressors, who are significant attachment figures because they belong to their family environment.
