And here is my original comment in this particular conversation where I bring up the 8% stat and CLEARLY FUCKING STATE THAT IT ISN'T JUST RICH PEOPLE THAT ESCAPE CONVICTION:

A 20-year review of reported rape and sexual assault cases found that 89% were “founded” by law enforcement, meaning police determined that the crime more than likely occurred.

But only 8% of reported rape and sexual assault cases ended in conviction.

In other words, police believed most reports, but very few cases led to the perpetrator’s conviction. Survivors can be believed and still not get the legal outcome they seek.

It's not just the rich that don't get prosecuted.
