This is one of the worst possible arguments I've seen on HN. I'm not going to address the morality issue at stake here, but you've fallen into one of the most common traps when it comes to trying to compare rates of reports over a period of time which is that population also grows. From 1990 to 2020 the US population grew from 250 million to 330 million. Additionally, as the chart you pointed out the FBI changed its definition of what constitutes rape in 2013, hence the rise in reported rape from that year onwards.
