INTRODUCTION
Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted;1,270 per day. Every nine minutes, the victim is a child. However only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison; 2.5% or 25 perpetrators. If these numbers are not staggering enough, only 19% of sexual assaults are reported. In a class of 25 students with 15 females and 10 males, 6.25 females will be sexually assaulted compared to .33% or less than one of their male counterparts. Of all of those assaulted only .16% will go to prison meaning that in just this scenario 6.72 offenders just in relation to this class are in our communities. Known violent offenders such as Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy had prior sexual in nature arrests prior to a conviction of murder. 63% of violent offenders will be rearrested for another violent crime with the average timeline of 0-18 months. So for every 10 we let out, at least six will go back.
Where - Where were they located at the time of the assault?
- 55% - at or near the victim’s home
- 15% - in an open public place
- 12% - at or near a relative’s home
- 10% - in an enclosed but public area (garage or parking lot)
- 8% - occur on school property
What - What were they doing at the time of the assault?
- 48% were sleeping, or performing another activity and home
- 29% were traveling to and from school, work or running errands
- 12% were working
- 7% were attending school
- 5% were doing an unknown or other activity
So if you are one of the individuals criticizing parents about allowing sleepovers or “not being vigilant enough” let these numbers soak in. There is a much higher probability that if your child is assaulted, it's at your home, a family member's home, or on the way to or at school. We have to change this because it is a huge problem. In the meantime though, we need to address the impact from prevention and awareness to healing.

Healing can take years and recovery can become an elusive target, with constant backsliding and new triggers that force you to relive the pain over and over again.
