Most sexual assault survivors know or knew their perpetrator.
Although every survivor’s experience is unique, the majority of rape and sexual assault survivors knew their perpetrator before the act took place. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the victim knew their assailant in 8 out of every 10 cases. A 2015 study of 27 universities (and over 15,000 respondents) in the United States found that victims most frequently indicated that the offender was a friend or acquaintance (54.4% of victims who responded to the survey indicated that the offender is/was a “friend” or “acquaintance”). This data challenges the stereotype that rapes are committed by strangers. In truth, in the vast majority of cases, the victim and perpetrator know or knew one another.
