Please read these statistics on child sexual abuse. It’s heartbreaking

Sexual assault is a significant social, criminal justice, and healthcare issue in Utah. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) database, r**e is the only violent crime in Utah with higher rates (55.5 per 100,000 people) than the national average (42.6 per 100,000 people). The high number of r**es reported in the data is especially concerning as only 11.8% of individuals who have experienced r**e or sexual assault in Utah reported the crime to law enforcement. In 2007, the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice conducted an anonymous survey and discerned that one in three Utah women experienced sexual assault in their lifetimes, and one in six Utah women experienced r**e (sexual assault with vaginal or a**l pe*******on). Utah is ranked 9th out of the 50 US states for number of r**es per capita. R**e results in significant individual and societal costs. Individuals traumatized by r**e frequently suffer negative short- and long-term physical, psychological, and emotional effects. In fact, the financial burden of r**e is estimated to cost $1,700 per Utah resident per year.
