Questioning RAINN's Rape Reporting and Prosecution Statistics

Every day in America, thousands of data are molested. Surely something must be done.

Another thing:

The NCVS, which they also cite on the page of stats you analyzed, uses a definition of rape that excludes almost all male victims, and almost all female perpetrators.

Rape, as defined by the NCVS, is forced sexual intercourse. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, oral, or anal penetration by offender(s).

Requires that the offender penetrate and the victim be penetrated.

The red marks are for the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, which in actuality show only the rate of arrest per 100,000 for rape(which is 54 or 0.00054%) which is all but unusable for this purpose so the real stat we want is how many of the reports of raped are ‘cleared’ which means either someone was arrested or something happened so that the offender could not be arrested(exceptional means) the percentage of rape reports cleared is 41.2 which would make the number on the RAINN graph 19 not 12.

That first "sentence" is so obviously a run-on that it discredits the article on account of illegibility.
