There has been an increase in the prevailing rate of sexual abuse in Nigeria, especially against adolescents. It is in light of this that the research objectives were to assess the knowledge, occurrence, psychosocial effect, and identify preventive measures to curb sexual violence. One hundred and twenty-seven adolescents were selected using a multistage sampling technique. A well-structured questionnaire was used as an instrument, which was given face and content validity. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. The hypothesis was analyzed using chi-square and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that 100% had a good understanding of sexual abuse, and it can occur at the age of 14-17 years, 39.4% knew that sexual abuse can lead to sexual addiction. 73.2%) knew that sexual abuse can lead to suicidal attempt and 60.6% knew that sexual abuse can lead to teenage pregnancy. Regarding the preventive measures, 85.5% agreed that adolescents should be enlightened on sexual education, and 86.6% responded that there should be reinforcement of laws against sexual abuse. Hence, the respondents had good knowledge of sexual violence, had experienced sexual abuse and were able to identify preventive measures to curb sexual abuse. Therefore, it is recommended that parents and teachers should assume a more active role by discussing all aspects of life, which include reproduction, sexual violence and sexuality, including its prevention, with the adolescents.
