Might be, but sexual assault is more common than the child rape I think.
Once you teach them to be confident to talk to someone about it,and that it is not their fault, then surely it would follow that they would tell someone about being raped as well.
The majority of these assaults are by somebody known to the victim, very difficult for the child to talk about it, especially if it is someone they trust and love.
In an ideal world the parents would teach their kids, unfortunately, sometimes it is the parents that are assaulting their kids.
