One-fifth of British women were sexually abused as children By Sophie Goodchild, Chief Reporter - The Independent - Published: 01 April 2007

More than one-fifth of women in Britain have been the victim of sexual abuse as children, according to new figures.
This week, ministers will unveil a special action plan aimed at increasing the conviction rate against violent sex offenders, including rapists and paedophiles.
The Home Office minister Vernon Coaker is to announce an increase from five to 40 in the number of sexual assault referral centres, where women are provided with medical care and counselling.
He said that sexual abuse and child sexual assault are "horrific and damaging" crimes and added that the Government has a "crucial role" in protecting those at risk.
"These are often the most vulnerable members of our society, and we are working hard to support victims and ensure that offenders are brought to justice, said Mr Coaker."
Official figures show that 21 per cent of women and 11 per cent of men have been abused by paedophiles.
Police officers and barristers will also be given extra training in how to deal with victims of sexual abuse.
Whitehall sources said there is concern among ministers about the low prosecution rate for sex offences and that more help is needed for victims.
The Independent on Sunday revealed in January how rape victims were being failed by the criminal justice system. A damning report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary found that many police officers and prosecutors were not taking on board new policies aimed at increasing the small proportion of cases going to court.
Between a half and two-thirds of victims find that their case does not progress beyond the investigation stage, and of the final number that do reach court, half of these end in the acquittal of the defendant.
Campaigners have blamed the poor conviction rate on judges taking an unsympathetic approach to rape victims.
Ministers have attempted to toughen up the laws on rape by drawing up new guidance, which would mean that a man could be convicted of rape if his victim had been drinking heavily.
However, last week, a top judge was criticised for declaring that a woman cannot claim rape just because she was drunk at the time.
Sir Igor Judge, the Deputy Lord Chief Justice, said that even a woman who is heavily intoxicated may still be able to consent to sex.
His comments came after an Appeal Court ruling freed a young man who was jailed for rape after he had sex with a drunken student.
Benjamin Bree, 25, a software engineer, was sentenced to five years in prison last December after a drunken evening with a 19-year-old student who had drunk between four and six vodka Red Bulls and two pints of cider.

...

Yawn.

If you look at the statistics, you will discover that this 'abuse' was about 95+% to do with teenagers fumbling about trying to get their sexual acts together.

And the hate-stirring sh#ts at the Home Office are simply trying to justify more funding for their parasitic self-serving empires while the feminists and their whimpering lackey boys who run the 'Independent' are continuing their campaign of hatred against men.
