It's important to remember that statistics on rape vary. The US had more than 80,000 cases of rape reported to police from 2004--2010, according to UN data. But the US Justice Department estimates 300,000 American women are raped every year. The CDC puts it at 1.3 million. For reported rape cases per capita, Australia, Botswana and Lesotho rank highest.
