I don't know about the us but I don't see why it would be too different. The UK has been looking into child sexual abuse because of both priest and muslim rape gang abuses in the recent past, and there's also rampant child-on-child sexual abuse that often comes from copying what's been seen in porn.Sorry if this has already been discussed in the thread, but I would like the most recent data / opinions I can find if possible. Is there clear evidence of a significant rise in the U.S. of peer on peer sexual violence with teens and young adults? It's hard to find any clear-cut studies given the nature of the issue and the lack of reporting of rapes in general, but anecdotally there seems to be some kinda massive issue that no one wants to acknowledge, at least in certain areas.
The inquiry heard from 725 witnesses during 325 hearings which began in Feb. 2017, processing nearly 2.5 million pages of evidence. More than 6,000 victims and survivors of abuse also related their experiences to the inquiry's 'Truth Project'.
The inquiry said a 2019 crime survey indicated there were 3.1 million victims and survivors of abuse in England and Wales, or about 7.5% of the population aged 18 to 75.
Jay said in any group of 200 children, 10 boys and more than 30 girls would be victims before the age of 16. Statistics showed the age of victims was getting younger, with a 45% rise in offences against those aged under four in recent years.
Even while it was carrying out its investigations, the scale of online abuse had risen dramatically, the inquiry said.
