Abbott Fails Texas Rape Victims

Under Greg Abbott, Texas Sexual Assault Rate Above National Average


Just a few weeks ago, Greg Abbott bragged about the new law that essentially bans abortion in Texas, even in cases of rape or incest – and even when the rape victim is a child. In response to direct questions from the press, Abbott made the cynical and craven claim that he would “eliminate all rapists” across Texas.

Facts and common sense say otherwise, and Greg Abbott knows it. Abbott’s real-world record shows he has neither the intention nor the ability to reduce the rate of sexual assault in Texas.



Facts Say Abbott’s Rape Record Worse than Other States

Recently-released crime data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that Texas once again ranks higher than the national average for instances of rape and sexual assault.



Since Greg Abbott took office as governor, Texas has ranked above the national average for rape offenses. In 2019, there were nearly 15,000 reported rapes in Texas —the most of any state in the country.
