Sorry Comte, but in Oz the stats for girls are over 40%, using narrow definitions. Maybe we have high rates of reporting here as there has been a wide movement to support victims of CSA in the past 30 years here. The same authors had a very good study which exceeds the upload limit but looks at narrow/broad definitions e.g. n arrow only meaning (vaginal) penetration, incest only including immediate family (not uncles/cousins etc.). They also comment on the 0% rates in e.g. China being surprising (and what effect does that have on the stats?) - maybe due to under-reporting.
To ignore the absence of evidence is the base of true faith.
