> had been asked to do something sexually explicit online

Is it? I'm pretty sure another teen / boyfriend / girlfriend asking for a topless or nude picture would count here, unless I'm missing something. It doesn't seem like it would be uncommon at all.

The 1/5 being victim to sexual violence does surprise, though.

Yes, and going into a public chatroom and being asked to "show boobs and vagina" by some rando certainly qualifies as "being asked for a sexual favor." This is how you manipulate statistics.

There's shockingly high stats, and there's ludicrously high stats from another planet.

20% isn't just high. It's so high there's no way you were walking around without noticing.

98% of people have been attacked before their 30th birthday. Really. They've been shoved, slapped, called a slur, publicly called incompetent and/or had items ripped out of their hands.

~ 70 % of the reported harms occurred via a private device, meaning it was highly targeted, the reported events are mainly not things happening in a public setting.

For another happy stat you can for you to explain away, how about this: by age twelve, 6% of all girls have gotten sent sexually explicit content from someone they did not know.

I'm not even giving them enough credit to try and explain anything away. What I said was meant as examples of obvious ways this can be manipulated, not direct attempts at explanation.

In a major assault on basic civil liberties, the burden of proof is on the assailants.

You care about those kids? Educate them and give them the tools to protect themselves, to protect their identity online. Instead, you trained them to sign up to shady sites everywhere with their real names, real phone numbers, the same email address tied to their real identities, to readily give their real names away and above all publicly post pictures and videos of themselves.

That's a very grand thing to say after flat out stating you're just going to flat out dismiss any evidence they present ("I'm not even giving them enough credit to try and explain anything away").

[mike_hock]

What evidence? I haven't seen anything relevant.

Heh, hell, I'm a dude and quite a bit older but I've had this happen twice by accident (with me as the recipient, I mean). Wrong number I guess (it wasn't a phishing thing—I get shitloads of those, too).

Depending on the number of 12yo with email accounts and cell phones that wouldn't surprise me.

Close to 100% of people have gotten an out of the blue sexually explicit text or email by someone meaning to send it to someone else.

It only counts in the respondent reported that they were harmed by it.
