Historically sexual offences in the US, the UK, Australia, and elsewhere have been both under reported and under investigated. There's a potentially misleading graphic mid article: The proportion of violent and sexual offences solved has almost halved since 2017 that shows a change in "percentage of cases with an outcome" from 20% to a bit over 10%. It's probable (but not clarified) that a good part of that percentage change is due to an increase in reporting of sexual offences. It should go without saying that this is a sorry state of affairs, it should also be emphasized that this isn't neccessarily evidence of a sudden and sharp decline in the already low rate of convictions.
