Sexual Abuse Statistics
Data from RAINN shows that an American is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds. That is an astounding number, and both men and women are affected.
- 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.
- Approximately 3% of American men have been the victim of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.
- 34% of victims of sexual assault and rape are under the age of 12.
- 66% of victims of sexual assault and rape are between the ages of 12 and 17.
One roadblock that victims of sexual assault run into is the fact that the perpetrators of sexual assault often do not have the resources necessary to properly compensate their victims. That is why we explore all avenues of compensation.
In many cases, we are able to obtain compensation from agencies or organizations perpetrators of sexual assault worked for. Sometimes, there is an attempted coverup of sexual abuse by supervisors or others, and these individuals should be held accountable as well.
