- Forcible rape: 6,145 - Forcible sodomy 1,402 - Forcible fondling 3,667 - Total Sexual Offenses Reported 11,214 - 3,064 arrests were made for forcible sex offenses in Florida in 2007 (*Florida Statistical Analysis Center: FDLE, Crime in Florida, Florida Uniform Crime Report; Tallahassee, FL) ------------------------------ *General Sexual Assault Statistics* According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010*(1): *Women:* - 1,266,000 women in Florida have been raped at some point in their lives. That’s 17% or 1 in 6 women in Florida. - 41.8% of women, or 3,111,000, in Florida have been victimized by sexual violence other than rape. - 79.6% of female victims who have experienced one or more completed rape experienced the *first* rape before the age of 25; 42.2% were under 18 at the time of the *first *completed rape. *Men:* - 20.4% of men, or 1,437,000 men, in Florida have been victimized by sexual violence other than rape. - More than one-quarter (27.8%) of male victims who have experience at least one completed rape experienced the *first* rape when they were 10 years of age or younger. *For this survey, *rape* is defined as completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated forced penetration. “*Sexual violence other than rape*” means unwanted sexual contact short of penetration, and unwanted, coerced penetration. *Reporting Rates* The National Women’s Study Replication, funded by the National Institute of Justice, in 2005 found that nationally only 18% of forcible rapes are reported to law enforcement.(2) The study found only 10% of drug and alcohol facilitated rapes are reported. (2) *Military * According to Department of Defense statistics gathered by the Service Women’s Action Network (SWAN)(5): - 3,158 military sexual assaults were reported in fiscal year 2010, a decrease of 2% from fiscal year 2009. Only about a quarter of these sexual assaults occurred during deployment to a combat zone. - While sexual assaults are notoriously underreported, this problem is exacerbated in military settings. The Department of Defense estimates that only 13.5% of survivors report the assault, and that in 2010 alone, over 19,000 sexual assaults occurred in the military.
