In fact, the statistics of women getting raped for being "sexy" is probably very low. CB's right, it could happen to anyone, in almost any situation. And as Billy said, a huge percentage of it happens within the family (or any trusted circle of "friends" that could be equivalent)... in most cases "sexiness" is not an issue. It's a false perception.
Like what has mentioned before, lots of rape cases don't happen because the rapists were attracted to their victims, but because in some warped way they wanted to "punish" their victims and make themselves feel superior. A power fantasy, not a sexual one.
The prevalence of this sociopathic act is made worse by this myth of the "cold fish"... at one time it was acceptable to mock women who "don't put out". I think times are changing now, though, which is good.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
