Sexual Assault Facts

Since sexual assault is all over the news... and, by default,  bogus sexual assault claims, let's dig in to some realities about sexual assault. 


Have you ever heard that 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted during college? Yeah, that's a totally bogus claim. Somehow it keeps perpetuating.  The real number is  less than 2.6% of US women will be sexually assaulted over the course of their entire life. 

We all knew the "1 in 4" claim was false.  After all, what parent would send their daughter to a place where she was 125 times more likely to get raped than to die at some point in her life from an auto accident?

In fact, a man is six times more likely to be falsely accused of sexual assault,  than a woman is of actually  being the victim of sexual assault.  17% conviction rate, vs. 83% acquittal, accuser recants, or false allegations.  See the meme above. 

Just some food for thought. 
And yet again, the Bible had it right all along:

The judges are to make a careful investigation, and if the witness turns out to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother, you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from you. Then everyone else will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything evil like this among you.
