Other Notes:"Three-quarters (n=146) of girls stated the sexual violence occurred in only a single relationship. However, for a quarter (n=43) the violence had happened in a few relationships. In contrast, boys reported a higher level of sexual victimisation across relationships. Fewer boys, nearly half (n=47), reported that the violence had occurred in only a single relationship. A similar proportion of boys, a third (n=31), stated that it had happened in a few relationships. However, and in contrast to girls, 20 per cent of boys reported sexual violence in many or all of their relationships. This represents the highest frequency rate for all forms of violence irrespective of gender." (p. 68)
