In 2002, a national survey found that about 12.8% of rape victims were male, higher than in previous years. Still, women were nearly 7 times more likely to be victims than men: the survey reports there were 31,640 male victims (0.3 per 1000 persons age 12 and older), and 216,090 female victims (1.8 per 1000 persons 12 and older) in 2002.
