Male sexual assault victims are less likely to report the crime, new study finds

Study findings show that the average age of the males was 28, though there were almost 40 attendees between the ages of 14 and 16.

Male victims of sexual violence are significantly more likely than female victims to be assaulted by multiple assailants, according to the first study of its kind in Ireland.

Male victims are also far less likely to report the crime to gardaí than female victims, which, authors say, could be the result of "stigma and rape myths".
