Seemed high to me, but again, several sources.

Numbers lie, particularly in the case of the rape/incest. That has to be something that is reported/recorded to medical officials and most often (even in the case of non pregnancies) they are not reported. It wasn't until I was older (actually after I became Greek) that I was able to get a scope of how often rape/incest occur and go unreported.
