PlutoSquared | These are very informative statistics... Every 2 minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted. 60% of sexual assaults are not reported to the police Approximately 73% of rape victims know their assailants. Only 6% of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. http://www.rainn.org/statistics |
charmainec | That is sad.Many rapes are not reported because of the feeling of shame and often the rapist is someone known to the victim. ------------------ quote: I miss my cupcake where has it gone i wish it were here at the wave of my wand

PlutoSquared | Charmainec, It is sad. I didn't realize the statistics until I went to the website last night. Pretty sad and scary stuff. |
PlutoSquared | In school it was actually very shocking to hear stories from a high number of girlfriends who had either been molested or raped. I would say it was almost a 1 in 3 ratio. |
LEXX | Sad but true. I knew my rapists and molesters. Oddly all good Christians. None went to jail. I tried to tell someone, no one listened. I was betwixt 4 and 9 for most and 15 for one.The following, have no idea what religion they were. When I was 18, I almost killed a guy defending myself. There were a few more, where I did what I had to do whilst defending myself. "Shudder" Nuff said. |
