Men aren t sexually assaulted. Almost as many boys as girls will be assaulted by age eighteen. No one can be sexually assaulted against his or her own will. Most adult victims, even those who are not physically harmed, fear injury and death during a sexual assault. Many are formulated on the basis of prejudice, bigotry, and media misrepresentation.
White women are more likely to be raped by Black men than by white men.
Sexual assault is mostly interracial. When raped by white men, black women tend to be the recipients of greater violence. The black perpetrator is usually more harshly punished, receives a longer jail term, and receives more media coverage. Rape does not exist in the suburbs. Rape knows no economic or racial boundaries.
