  It is certainly not exclusive to the USA and no one is trying to deny or diminish victims in other countries, but statistically, it is an endemic US problem. According to US HHS "over the course of their lifetime, 28% of young people in the US, aged 14 to 17, had been sexually victimized." Compare that to 4.8% for the UK, also a country with a severe child SA problem. The US is thusly quite anomalous, and is only really comparable to undeveloped nations in terms of CSA rates. So when an American goes out of his way to defend forms of CSA on his personal webpage, unprompted, it can certainly be seen as symptomatic of this larger US cultural issue.
