FACTSHEET:
Male Rape
Society is becoming increasingly aware of male rape.
However, experts believe that current male rape statistics vastly under-represent the
actual number of males age 12 and over who are raped each year. Rape crisis counselors
estimate that while only one in 50 raped women report the crime to the police, the rates
of under-reporting among men are even higher (Brochman, 1991). Until the mid-1980s, most
literature discussed this violent crime in the context of women only. The lack of tracking
of sexual crimes against men and the lack of research about the effects of male rape are
indicative of the attitude held by society at large -- that while male rape occurs, it is
not an acceptable topic for discussion.
