That claim is false.

DoULike is a dating app, and obviously is not a reliable source.

Here is the actual CDC data with links:



More than 80% of female rape victims in the U.S. report their first rape occurred before age 25, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC (.gov). Data indicates nearly half (49%) of these victims were under 18 at the time of their first assault. This statistic refers to the age of onset among victims, rather than 4 in 5 of all females in the general population.
