Sexual assault cases in the state of New South Wales have risen dramatically in the last two years, as experts scramble to figure out the reason behind these horrific statistics.
NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research revealed between March 2023 and March 2025 sexual assault reports rose 6.4 per cent in NSW, making it one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the country.
The spike has also come with an increase of other crimes such as stalking and harassment, domestic violence and intimidation.
This latest data supports what the Australian Bureau of Statistics released last year, that put sexual assault reports in Australia at a 31-year high.
