Objective: build a diagnostic overview of child and adolescent sexual violence assisted in the health system in Brazil. Methods: a cross-sectional, analytical study carried out with data from the Ministry of Health regarding child and adolescent sexual violence in Brazil from 2010 to 2021. Descriptive and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted using Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Hierarchical Clustering. Results: there was great importance associated with the presence of female victims, singles, and teenagers who have sexual practices only with men in a residential environment, in the absence of a former spouse, boss, stepmother, or caregiver at the time of the occurrence. It was also noted the importance associated with cases of recurrence, the co-occurrence of physical and psychological violence, as well as related to the participation of parents, boyfriends, and acquaintances as perpetrators. Furthermore, it was identified that incidents on public roads seem to be more associated with victims with low education. Conclusion: child and adolescent sexual violence in Brazil is, therefore, established as an important social, cultural, safety, and public health problem. It was possible to explore the main parameters associated with occurrences in the country, thus allowing the possibility of its application in assistance tools and services.
