Sexual exploitation:

Sexual exploitation is driven by power and control, and it typically unfolds through a pattern of abuse rather than as isolated acts. Abusers use grooming, manipulation, and coercion to gain the trust and then dependence of the victim, gradually escalating boundary violations and isolating them to maintain control. This cyclical process—establishing control, exploiting that control, and then using secrecy or justification to continue—is why it fits with a predictable pattern of abuse. The other statements don’t fit because exploitation involves more than just physical harm, is intimately tied to abuse dynamics, and does not require a medical diagnosis to be identified.
