This means that around 33% of all child sexual abuse victims are BOYS. That's consistent with many of the previously posted statistics and estimations.


uh oh.. bad math. if girls are abused three times more often it means 25% of victims are boys. 75 = 3x 25

then you have to subtract the amount of sexual abuse that comes from adult females to young boys (not high.. but still significant)
