Statistics
Sexual assaults often go unreported, making it difficult to accurately determine how many incidents occur annually. Current statistics are available through the Student Rights and Responsibilities Office; however, the following statistics were available at the time of publication: Nationally in 2005, there were 93,934 sexual offenses reported (Federal Bureau of Investigation). In Wisconsin, 5,357 sexual assaults were reported in 2005. Across the UW System Campuses, there were 191 sexual assaults in 2006…138 of which were acquaintances. At UW-Stevens Point, there were 5 reports of sexual assault during 2007. Five of these sexual assaults were acquaintances.
