PER-VICTIM LIFETIME COST OF RAPE ESTIMATED AT $122,461, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AS CITED IN A COPYRIGHTED WEBPAGE OF THE NATIONAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE RESOURCE CENTER

 I read today that the per-victim lifetime cost of rape is $122,461. Very tragic.

This is a factual statement I found today in a currently-copyrighted online webpage from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, a non-profit organization founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape:

"...CDC (Centers for Disease Control) estimates that the per-victim lifetime cost of rape is $122,461. We can also interpret this estimate as the costs averted for each potential victim who does not experience rape. When this per-victim cost is multiplied by the estimated 25 million reported adult victims of rape in the US, we find that rape will cost the economy approximately $3.1 trillion dollars over the lifetimes of those 25 million victims. Of this total, government sources pay an estimated one-third ($1.1 trillion) of the lifetime economic burden."
