Or countries with higher access to porn have lower reporting on their sexual assault stats.

Sexual assault and abuse are one of the most unreliable stats in the world because there are so many disincentives to report.

Further, it’s also a foolish stat to compare across jurisdictions because what constitutes sexual assault and abuse is wildly different across jurisdictions.

These stats tend to punish the countries that have the best environments to reduce sexual abuse and assault because they will also have the highest reporting.
