Consider the Following

According to the US Justice Department, 15% of victims of forcible rape are under the age of 12.

There is a website dedicated to "Child Supermodels" featuring girls under the age of 12 posing provocatively in what would be bras for post-pubescent females and slips. Sexualizing children much?

John Derbyshire, previously having stated that women are at their peak physical attractiveness between the ages of 15-20, and Razib Khan link female physical attractiveness to our probability of being raped. Apparently it doesn't occur to them that since most rapes are committed by men the victim knows, that sheer victim accessibility and power differentials might be factors in the equation, or something else altogether. Without a valid study, you really can't be sure. Isn't their conclusion the logical fallacy know as "begging the question"?
