When we talk about sexual violence, the focus too often falls on what survivors did, where they were, or whether they reported. But rape happens because someone chooses to violate another person’s consent.

According to FBI crime data, an average of 107,418 U.S. men are the perpetrators of reported rape each year.

Each year, an average of 5,510 female perpetrators are reported for rape, according to law enforcement reporting.

Prevention efforts must focus on the people who cause harm, not on blaming survivors for the violence committed against them.

    It is overwhelmingly men that rape other men, women, and children.

    The more important stat that only 8% of rape and sexual assault cases see a courtroom I have stated elsewhere in this thread.

    False rates of sexual assault happen at the same rate of false reporting of any other crime, between 2-5%.

    I can pull sources for each and every one of these statistics.

    Actually, the most reliable source goes from 2-8%

    It's still small, but it should be zero just as any other crime. That's at least my Utopia.
