UNDERSTANDING CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE
Male Sexual Abuse: Society is becoming increasingly aware of male rape. However, experts believe that current male rape statistics vastly under-represent the actual number of males who are raped each year. Rape crisis counselors estimate that while only one in 50 raped women report the crime to police, the rates of under-reporting among men are even higher (Brochman, 1999). Until the mid-1980s, most literature discussed this violent crime in the context of women only. The lack of tracking of male sexual crimes against men, and the lack of research about the effects of male rape are indicative of the attitudes held by society at large — that while male rape occurs, it is not an acceptable topic for discussion.
