95% of sexually assaulted incarcerated youth report that their victimizers were females (even thought only 42 percent of staff in state juvenile facilities are female).

to make the numbers more accurate:

• More than 10 percent of detained youths reported a sexual victimization incident involving staff members, while less than 3 percent reported incidents involving other youths.

• About 95 percent of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff. In 2008, 42 percent of staff in state juvenile facilities were female.

Which essentially means: 95% of around 10% of all were sexually abused by female staff members. So to make the number round: around 10% of all were assaulted by females.

Edit: here the actual report.

These are fascinating numbers. A bit silly to post here, but I think I understand the relevance to MR (you're illustrating a case where sexual assault perpetration is primarily female).

I'd like to hear some pontificating on this. My first thought is to simply not be surprised... I mean, if rape is a crime of power/control, then the hierarchical relationship of staff/inmate would seem to lend itself to this kind of thing. But why so heavily female, when they only make up 42% of the staff?

Of course, this is only 95% of the 10%, but nevertheless. Interesting.
