Historically, many rape laws excluded male victims from the protections women receive. The Model Penal Code, for example, defined “rape” so that only women could be victims. In England, funding for sex abuse victims is often denied for male victims regardless of how devastating.
The federal government spent hundreds of thousands of dollars studying rapes on college campuses while ignoring rapes in prisons where men are frequently subjected to prison rape or sexual abuse, and not just by other men. In fact, consensual sex between prisoners and guards is considered sexual abuse, especially when the prisoner is a minor, and female guards commit this form of abuse in significantly high numbers.
According to the US Department of Justice, “Approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff. In 2008, 42% of staff in state juvenile facilities were female.”
“Inside youth prisons, scores of female guards violated boys.” (As of May 5, 2011 this article appears to have been deleted from the Internet; however, we saved a copy but you can read it here: Sexual Assault rape stats list).

As reported by FORBES in the article “Is Feminism Getting In The Way of “Male Studies?” rapes of males frequently occur in the form of statutory rape, and not just by other males.  A student survey in New Mexico found 43% of teacher sex abuse comes from female teachers but over 90% of prosecutions are of male teachers.
A recent study found 2 out of 5 South African boys say they were raped, “most often by adult women.”
A major study in Canada conducted by the Vancouver’s McCreary Centre Society found high rates of homeless kids being molested, with 3/4 of the molestations of boys being by adult women, but there were still no programs for the boys, only for girls.
In 2009 the Guardian reported that researchers from the Lucy Faithfull Foundation discovered that up to 64,000 women are sex offenders in Britain!
Though there is little empirical research, adult women do forcefully rape men, including disabled men.  For example:
- According to the US Department of Justice report Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 “Approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff.
Men are also frequently victims of “sexual coercion” by both women and men. (Sexuality and Culture, Summer 2000.) According to a May 2008 study by the University of New Hampshire, 28% of college women and 11% of college men experienced unwanted sexual contact and the perpetrator was a member of the opposite sex 98% of the time for girls and 91% of the time for boys. See Table 1:- In 2008, 42% of staff in state juvenile facilities were female.”African men being raped and battered by women in Namibia.
- A quadriplegic man used eyes and toes to testify about female caregiver raping him. (As of May 4, 2011 this article no longer appears to be on the Internet.)
- In March, 2011 a Memphis a female caregiver for was arrested for sexually assaulting a mentally ill man.

More Hospital dirty secrets. What happened to you while you are unconscious in a medical facility? Nudity, humiliation, pain, anxiety, fear, stress; additionally in a hospital, drugs, catheters, cold and sleep deprivation, etc during care will breakdown resistance and may result in gaining control and submission of patients. Once a patient is broke-in or broken they will often submit to almost anything, necessary or unnecessary testes, treatments, examinations or surgery often without question. Caregivers can sometimes become desensitized, abusive and callous. Abuse, incompetence, apathy is rampant in some medical facilities. Per one source 83% of sexual abuse takes place in a medical care facility. “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely”; Allowing a depraved, lazy, exhausted or incompetent caregiver (Male or female) complete power over a unconscious or impaired patient could end badly for the patient. Avoid teaching hospitals and write any restrictions or instructions on the consent form for all hospitals (No Foley urinary catheters, No observers, no interns, etc). If you are having an examination, procedure, test or surgery, you may want to insist on no contact with interns, trainees, students, observers or shadows, etc, because of germs and infections, mistakes, accidents, distractions, privacy and confidentiality issues. When a patient is unconscious it is assumed they are giving “implied consent” to almost anything a caregiver wants to do to them. In 90% of states, doctors, nurses and medical students (almost anyone) are legally allowed to give any unnecessary exam, urinary catheters, pelvic, breast, rectal, testicular, prostate exams and other unnecessary procedures on patients who are unconscious or under anesthesia without being given “explicit consent” to do so. Often multiple times by many students or interns for training purposes or any other reason. For testes, procedures, examinations and surgeries one or more observers or shadows are sometimes common. Also observers and shadows can be non-medical staff, non-employees and sometimes as young as 16 years old. A medical facility will imply patients are consenting to observers, etc. however this is not entirety true. Most of the time they just show up and the patient is often being ambushed by them. https://www.elle.com/life-love/a28125604/nonconsensual-pelvic-exams-teaching-hospitals/ You may want to avoid a teaching hospital for multiple reasons. However, often caregivers at almost any hospital could do almost anything to any patient when they are unconscious for training purposes or any reason because of “implied consent”. This is a common practice to train new nurses, doctors and interns. In a non-medical setting this would be considered assault or sexual assault. When an upset patient learn about this after her hysterectomy surgery from the post operative report in a teaching hospital, she was told: “It does not matter because you were unconscious and how do you think new nurses and interns learn anything?” The drugs Versed and Fentanyl are often prescribed to give a patient temporary amnesia so they will not remember what was done to them. Many questionnaires are not a requirement to fill out and the term “strictly confidential” is misleading, a lie.
Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, nonetheless I genuinely thought you would probably have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
You’re the one moaning, Laurice. I don’t see a single fact coming from you. And we’e not “seeking attention,” we’re making changes. But I doubt you keep up with anything to know that.
Hire a Fornesic pathology group
So how can they fix it?
Yeah real mature, “Female rape statistics is just a bunch of moaning.” If it was flipped, you would called us out. These double standards are why we need men’s rights.
After reading your post, you have a great website with interesting content. But I think you can improve your current google ranks by using SEO website traffic net. My friend uses it and it works great. Just google it, it’s very nice tool to bring you a lot of new readers on a daily basis. Keep up the quality work!
The real question is where does a man go for help. Is there a program for men? Are the needs different for men than for women victims? Does anyone have an idea or is this a need to fill?
Rape crisis center and arrested. After attacked 6 times by Lisa and atlee a Garner. 6 jury trials: male victim charged
Where are your statistics for trans* men? Queer men? Men of color? If you’re going to advocate for “men” you might as well advocate for ALL “men”. Or does your scope only limit itself to cis-straight-white-abled men as seen with most of these statistics and your site overall?
I would like to know of a lawyer in the philadelphia area that can successfully file and win a civil claim against my son’s assailant, who happens to be a woman.
The rape and sexual abuse of both adult and young men around the South Africa has been so greatly ignored, disrespected and discounted for, that it has created a major misconception in many that such an occurrence does not exist.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
The events below will be facilitated by Mike Lew, an internationally renowned specialist from Boston, USA and author of the book; Victims No Longer: The Classic guide for Men recovering from Sexual Abuse. Mike has worked with thousands of men from around the world, in their healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse and rape. He conducts public lectures, workshops for survivors, and trainings and consultations for mental health, medical, human service, clergy, law enforcement, and other professionals throughout the United States and Canada and in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
WORKING WITH MALES OF SEXUAL ABUSE is a one day professional development workshop for people working with men in both the professional and voluntary sector. It will be held in Johannesburg on the 17th September 2013 at the GIBS Business School and in Cape Town on the 25th September 2013 at Backsberg Estate.

VICTIMS NO LONGER is a weekend recovery workshop for non offending male survivors, 20 – 22 September 2013 at the Ngomo Safari Lodge, Cradle of Humankind. The purpose of the weekend is to provide support and strategies that will move the male survivor through the process of healing from victim to survivor to thriver in a safe, controlled and supportive environment. If you are aware of adult male survivors that would benefit from the intervention, please forward the information onto them. “As a male survivor, I have experienced the reality of rape and sexual abuse. A tipping point in my recovery as a survivor of both sexual abuse and rape, was when I travelled to Scarborough in the UK to attend a “Victims No Longer” weekend. Facilitated by author Mike Lew a world renowned expert in this field of recovery, I was afforded the opportunity for the first time ever to interact with other male survivors. I did not have to explain my feelings as the men there experienced first-hand the pain and trauma I had gone through. I am no longer a victim or a survivor; I can now proudly say I am a thriver. It was with this motivation that I founded SAMSOSA and have worked to make it possible that South Africans do not have to leave the borders of our country to derive the benefits of this life changing experience.” If a male survivor is financially unable to meet the costs of R995 including accommodation, meals and handouts, application can be made to SAMSOSA for financial assistance by contacting SAMSOSA via email admin@samsosa.org.

My last post re-posted Skepticron’s post. This is a response to the dumbass named “Skepticron” who calls people dumbass.
Skepticron says: “First of all the vast percentage of male rape is by…other males, not females.”
Apparently you didn’t read the article, dumbass. The stats on statutory rape, which IS rape, show almost half of it in schools, and most in prisons, is by females. But more importantly, why does that matter? Isn’t is still rape? The point of the post is how male victims are being neglected in public policy and even discriminated against. Why does the gender of the rapist change that?
Skepticron says: “Uh, CONSENSUAL sex is considered abuse. What dumbass wrote this? Consensual means they wanted to do it. I don’t care what the state considers it; if they wanted it, it isn’t abuse.”
No Skepticron, a minor, especially ones under 13 years old, are not “consenting.” It is still a form of rape. If your 10 year old daughter slept with her teacher, I’d love to hear you defend him by saying it was “consensual.”
What a dumbass you are
Stupidest story ever. First of all the vast percentage of male rape is by…other males, not females. And the majority of male rapists are…the clergy!
The article said: “In fact, consensual sex between prisoners and guards is considered sexual abuse, especially when the prisoner is a minor, and female guards commit this form of abuse in significantly high numbers.”
Uh, CONSENSUAL sex is considered abuse. What dumbass wrote this? Consensual This is a response to the dumbass name skepticron who calls other people dumbass.

I was 19 years old in the army my room mate drug me ,a blackout,and in the morning, I did not remember anything ,but it was so much trash in my back ,and since it was a blackout ,I let it go,I did not understood what was going on,but now so many years later I start to remember,my room mate weeks later,he start to do this move when you take somebody from behind and do it,he just call my name and did the move, and for long time I did not understood what happen to me now I do,
Do you know the name of the male rape victim with the Samoan name? I want to research how his family is doing, since he committed suicide years later, unable to escape perceived noteriety even abroad. I think he was treated unfairly in press coverage. Can I have his name because I have been searching and nothing is coming up. He was gang-raped as a minor by male students with broomsticks. He tried living abroad to start over.
