    1. **Key Findings**

      * The number of recorded male victims of crime incidents of Sexual offences rose by 54% to 869 victims between 2023 and 2024. This increase related mainly to a near doubling of such crime incidents that were reported by males more than a year after the occurrence.

      * In seven out of ten (70%) recorded crime incidents of Sexual offences in 2023 that had been detected by 2025, the suspected offender was known to the victim.

      * The suspected offender was known to the victim in two-thirds (65%) of crime incidents of Attempts/Threats to Murder, Assaults, Harassments & Related offences in 2023 that were detected by 2025.

      * In 2024, three in every ten (30%) victims of crime incidents of Sexual offences reported the incident more than 10 years after it occurred. This was up from 22% in 2023 and 21% in 2022.

      * Half (50%) of recorded victims of crime incidents of Sexual offences in 2024 were under 18 years of age at the time of occurrence.

      * Seven out of every ten (69%) crime incidents of Harassment & Related offences in 2023 that were detected by 2025 involved a female victim. In most cases, the suspected offender was a male.

      probably a sign of a move away from shame around male victims.

      Good!

      Well, if it’s a reflection of men feeling safe and comfortable enough to come forward that is.

      Not so good if its something else I guess

      Saying “rose by half” is an awful saying it doubled or rose by 100%

      Shitty that this continues to happen, but it’s good news to hear during men’s mental health month that more feel able to speak up. Good stuff.

      Male SA victim here. I was one that reported. Didn’t get believed by the bastard when I was bawling my eyes out in the living room. Men can be victims.

      I was told in the past that I was ‘lucky because she’s pretty’. Doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t fucking want it but it happened anyway

      I finally spoke up about what my father did to me for years throughout my childhood. it took more than fifteen years and a lot of alcohol, but we got there in the end!

      The feelings of shame, embarrassment, weakness etc are all still there, but they’re much more manageable now that the burden has been shared.

      Speak up if you can ✊🏻
