Ministry of Justice deputy secretary sector Tim Hampton said census data was used to ensure those interviewed are representative of the overall population of New Zealand. The survey’s findings, released on Wednesday, revealed 9 per cent of adults who had experienced sexual assault had diverse sexualities, making this group at “very high risk” of sexual assault. Hampton said one figure that stood out was that 75 per cent of sexual assault victims didn t feel what happened to them was a crime. Among those who did consider the incident a crime, the reporting rate was almost three times higher, 22 per cent.
