snip-"Data shows frequency of reports of sexual abuse of children
An analysis of Columbus police reports filed since May 9 found 50 reports of rape or sexual abuse involving girls 15 years or younger. That number of reports may also be underreported because of restrictions on public records related to reports initiated by mandated reporters. The report involving the 10-year-old girl falls into that category."

This does not specify female or male rapes.

These are only the reported rapes. REPORTED RAPES ONLY Many women know that many rapes go unreported, I cannot estimate how many male child rapes there are. How many sexual assault & rapes are hushed up or not even known is impossible to estimate.

I feel sick thinking on this.
