Despite indications of a high prevalence rate of spousal sexual violence, there seems to bemore reluctance on the part of victim/survivors to report or discuss spousal sexual violencecompared to other types of sexual assaults (Lievore, 2003; Mahoney, 1999). There is alsoreluctance to disclose sexual violence even when physical violence may be identified. Thismeans that sexual assault may remain a hidden aspect of abuse in relationships, even wherephysical assaults are disclosed (Parkinson, 2008). The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)personal safety data also indicated that sexual assaults are less likely to be reported to thepolice than physical assaults, while sexual assaults by a current partner are the least likely ofall to be reported, even compared to other types of sexual assaults (ABS, 2006).
