The general objective of the research was to describe the means of proof in sexual crimes. It was developed from the quantitative paradigm, and was also framed from a documentary-bibliographic design, through the inquiry, collection and critical analysis of documents and bibliographic references, based on the methodical, rigorous and deep exploration of various documentary sources such as scientific research, articles and refereed papers, theses, among others. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was applied. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. The sample was made up of 120 persons who have cases contemplated in the judicial files and of more recent date. It is concluded that there are a number of factors that may contribute to the higher incidence of rape among women. These factors include gender roles, stereotypes and social norms that may perpetuate violence against women. The highest frequency of offenses occurs in boys and girls aged 10 to 14 years.
