I have no idea if the numbers back that up. Obviously, there are many other factors in play too.
No, I'm highlighting it.
This would be a cogent point (well, would have been the first of the 17 times it was mentioned) if we were having a conversation only about this case. I would have thought most readers would have figured out by now that that isn't the conversation we are having.
I believe that's true for you. I do not believe that's necessarily true, or, more importantly believed by the potential rapist to be true, for those most likely to rape.

I'm fairly certain there is less rape in Iran becaue women are treated as chattel and not allowed to go out unaccompanied as a rule. The fact that the penalty is death probably has a lot to do with it, too.
