All statistics obtained regarding the extent of sex crimes in Florida conflict with one another.
One study conducted in Florida revealed that male victims of rape fear a perceived stigma by both the public as well as investigating police detectives. According to William Moore, an Attorney in Broward County, This fear becomes non-existent when certain facts accompany the offense regardless of gender. Both male and female victims are far more likely to report a sexual battery committed against them when the following factors were present according to Attorney Moore:
1. The offender is a stranger
2. A crime such at robbery accompanied the sexual assault
3. Heightened physical violence during the sexual assault
