Quote:Which works out at 679 per day for <i>sexual assaults</i>. Actual <i>rape</i> is much less.John, I do not want to get into a discussion about which numbers are more accurate, but take a look at this figure you just posted. Going on this, that would mean that every 2 and 1/2 <b>minutes</b> and women in America is sexually assulted. And this I'm sure reflects only those incidents which go reported?? And I hope you are not trying to imply that sexual assult is not such a big deal compared to rape.
Do you realize that one out of every 4 girls, and one out of every 6 boys in America will be sexually abused by the time that child reaches the age of 12? This is not an issue that can be sugar-coated, this is a serious problem in this country no matter what spin you want to put on it, and that is the fact.
