Sexual Violence by Any
Perpetrator
Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and
1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United
States have been raped at some
time in their lives, including
completed forced penetration,
attempted forced penetration,
or alcohol/drug facilitated
completed penetration.
More than half (51.1%) of female
victims of rape reported being
raped by an intimate partner
and 40.8% by an acquaintance;
for male victims, more than
half (52.4%) reported being
raped by an acquaintance
and 15.1% by a stranger.
Approximately 1 in 21 men
(4.8%) reported that they were
made to penetrate someone else
during their lifetime; most men
who were made to penetrate
someone else reported that
the perpetrator was either an
intimate partner (44.8%) or an
acquaintance (44.7%).
An estimated 13% of
women and 6% of men have
experienced sexual coercion
in their lifetime (i.e., unwanted
sexual penetration after being
pressured in a nonphysical
way); and 27.2% of women and
11.7% of men have experienced
unwanted sexual contact.
Most female victims of
completed rape (79.6%)
experienced their first rape
before the age of 25; 42.2%
experienced their first completed
rape before the age of 18 years.
More than one-quarter of male
victims of completed rape
(27.8%) experienced their first
rape when they were 10 years of
age or younger.
