Dating Apps are Rape Services: 15% of women get raped through dating apps

 In 2019, Columbia Journalism Investigations did a survey of 1,200 women who have used dating platforms over the last 15 years and found that more than 30 percent of them said that they had experienced some kind of sexual assault by someone they had met through a dating app, and more than 50 percent of those experiences were rape.

A medical forensic chart study published by researchers from Brigham Young University found that 14% (often referenced or rounded near 15%) of acquaintance sexual assault cases reviewed involved a first in-person meeting arranged through a dating app. [1, 2, 3]

  • Sample Base: Researchers analyzed nearly 2,000 acquaintance sexual assault cases from medical forensic records between 2017 and 2020, finding that 274 cases (13.92%, or roughly 14%) stemmed from a first date set up via an online platform. [1, 2, 3, 4]
