More than 2,500 young girls in Guangdong Province have sustained sexual violence in the past three years, said a joint investigation report launched by the provincial Women's Federation and People's Procuratorate, Guangzhou Daily reported.

The report found that nearly half of the victims were younger than 14 years old, and that 65.74 percent of the assaults were acquaintance rapes, more committed by perpetrators under 20 years old or above 50.

The children and their guardians' reluctance to report to the police has placed the actual number of assaults much higher, said the report.

據《廣州日報》報道，廣東省婦聯和省檢察院聯合發布的一份調查報告顯示，近3年來，廣東有超過2500名女童曾遭遇性侵犯。

報告稱，受害人近半在14歲以下，而且性侵女童者65.74%是熟人，加害人多在20歲以下或50歲以上。

報告表示，這些孩子和她們的監護人由于不愿報案，所以實際的侵害案件數量會更多。
