- Abstract
Sexual harassment is defined as a social problem that affects people in all public places. The spread of the internet has also led to the spread of sexual harassment and child pornography. In this study, an analysis is presented with the contributions of a dermatologist and urologist, of 2 suspects of a penis-hand image shared with a 12-year-old girl on a social network. When the photographs of the penises held in the hands of the 2 suspects were compared with the photograph shared on the social network, the nevus, wound scars and morphological features were found to be compatible with the penis of one of the suspects. The comparison also benefited from the similarity and difference of the vascular structure in the dorsum of the penis. Consequently, it was recommended to establish a comparison procedure for such genital area image comparisons, especially in cases where the number of suspects increases.
