I don't know what you are thinking, BUT I'll tell you what I think. I think that the feminist socialist legal beagels have culled records from all over the nation of "priors" by women to use in their frothy over "zillions of rapes but the women don't report it".
Using the rape shield laws to protect "women" who make repeated accusations WHILE using those same stats to allege that women "don't report rapes". Double-bind.
In addition to, of course, classroom polling/women's groups' data types of "numbers".

DURHAM -- Allegations of rape by a Duke University student after an annual Last Day of Classes party last week aren't drawing District Attorney Mike Nifong's office into the investigation yet, Nifong said.
Students drank and inhaled smoke from a marijuana vaporizer at a celebration held on the second floor of Keohane Dormitory the night of April 26, according to the affidavit from the search warrant.
The alleged victim told a Duke University investigator that she had been drinking since noon, and that she was far more intoxicated than she'd ever been when she met the fellow Duke student who she said raped her.
The woman told police she was also getting high from the marijuana smoke wafting through the dorm room, when the male student attempted to kiss her "deeply" several times. When she protested that she was a lesbian and had a girlfriend, he told her he could make her straight by having sex with her, according to the warrant.
The students continued to talk and then walked to an on-campus concert.
The male student told police that after the concert he walked the alleged victim to her dorm because she seemed "very intoxicated." He took her to her dorm, he said, to put her to bed. Both students swiped their access cards at the alleged victim's dorm at 10:46 p.m.
Once in the dorm room, the male student told police that he washed the woman's feet because they appeared dirty. She asked him to help with her nightgown, but he denied taking off her bra and panties. After he "tucked her in," he left his number and AOL instant messenger ID and left her dorm.
The next morning, the woman woke up and found that she was completely nude, although she told police she never sleeps without underwear. Convinced something was wrong, the woman went to Duke University Hospital where a S.A.N.E. nurse found a "milky fluid," consistent with semen, in the alleged victim's vagina.
Nifong said Friday he learned about the April 26 alleged rape from television news reports Thursday. He has since spoken with Duke police investigators, he said.
"It appears to me that the Duke police are handling the case the way I would expect it to be handled," Nifong said.
Nifong will await a final report from Duke police before deciding how to proceed, he said. That's how most reported rapes and other crimes are handled, and usually only after police make an arrest, he said.
"That's the way it happens 95 to 98 percent of the time," he said.
That is in contrast to his office's involvement in the lacrosse rape case, Nifong said. In that case, the Durham Police Department investigated a woman's report that she was raped by three lacrosse players on March 13-14 at an off-campus team party where she was hired to perform as an exotic dancer.
After three weeks of investigation during which Nifong's office obtained a court order for DNA samples from 46 team members, two players were indicted by a grand jury on charges of kidnapping, sexual assault and rape.
"The Duke lacrosse case was very different from the way we normally get rape cases," Nifong said. "The District Attorney's Office is normally not contacted during the course of an investigation unless the law enforcement agency needs some special kind of assistance," such as obtaining a court order, he said. "That has not been the case in [the latest] investigation."
Duke police did obtain a search warrant from a magistrate to search a Keohane dormitory room Wednesday and obtain DNA samples for testing. The investigation appears to focus on a single suspect, Nifong said.
"It's a different situation if you have a focus on a specific individual, as opposed to a specific address," he said, referring to 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., where the lacrosse party took place.
A recent report made by Duke police states that 24 "forcible sex offenses" were reported to campus police between 2002 and 2004. The report does not specify what characterizes a forcible sex offense.
While rape is, sadly, a very real crime, far too much of it is just "morning after regret" and/or revenge.
if i remember correctly, the number of "unreported" rapes comes from comparing two sources: crime victims reports to police and the FBI national crime survey. the crime survey has higher reports of rape than the actual police reports, so it has been concluded that rape is under-reported to the police. however, they are reported to the fbi survey. i don't know how this compares to the studies being discussed on this thread, because i am not up to date on current rape statistics.
