12. Don't get sent to prison. nt kelly1mm Aug 2012 #9
For some reason, that kind of rape isn't counted. nt Romulox Aug 2012 #97
DOJ statistics for 2009, rape/sexual assaults, male victims 19,820, female victims 106,100. kelly1mm Aug 2012 #116
That number doesn't include prison rape. The DOJ estimates about 216,000 prison rapes in 2008, Romulox Aug 2012 #119
I agree. Even without prison rape, the % of rape/sexual assault victims that are male is over 15%. kelly1mm Aug 2012 #123
