About five years ago (when I was still in high school) I was told by a friend that the statistics are close to ONE WOMAN (read a human female of any age) IN FOUR having to experience rape in her lifetime. I didn't believe it then, but I've heard this same statistic quoted from about half a dozen people (whom I consider to be trustworthy sources) since then. One of these people is a professional councilor. I've never seen this printed anywhere, though, but I don't doubt it anymore. It's very frightening! -- +++++++++++ "For Easter Day is Christmas time, Clyde Bryja And far away is near, Box 21, Reed College And two and two is more than four, Portland, OR 97202 And over there is here."
