Sigh - 0.13% is 1.3 women per 1000, not 130. 130 would be 13%.

Sorry, my math is as bad as your reading. But now I think your BJS study is way off. I mean, they're counting kids 12-18. Think of all the perverts out there going after teenagers, boys as well as girls... do we really believe only 1 in 1000 Americans are being assaulted, molested, etc if we add in the teenagers?? There is no way.

But let's pretend to believe! and I'll recalculate.

Okay, so let's take these 1000 and say, okay, 1.3 each year. Let's follow them over 10 years. Ah, now we're back to 130. Now, let's go back to the CSA study. The women were asked if they'd been assaulted... ever. Not that year. Ever. In their past. It is still the case that out of those 1000 people, over 10 years, you'll have 130 assaults. About 14 of those 1000 interviewed at the end of 10 years will be females aged 18-20. If 28% say they were assaulted in the past, that's 4 of them. Yeah, it still holds.
