Dispatches has conducted the first major survey of male rape and finds that far more min have been victims than has ever been believed. Dispatches exposes as false many of the beliefs surrounding the crime, and also reveals that many police forces do not take the crime seriously. 1/3P314 4-Tel 314 Wed 31 May C4 20:48:16 Tonight, 21.00-21.45 PREVIEW Victims of male rape describe an experience which has, in many cases, wrecked their lives, and experts explain how its status as an unreported crime is similar to that of rape 20 years ago. Dispatches surveyed over 100 victims of male rape, and the findings destroy many myths surrounding the crime. For example, that 'real min' fight back and that the crime is perpetrated by gay min on other gay min. About half of both rapists and victims were heterosexual.
