Yeah, between a mix of the lurid details driving clickthroughs and some people feeling that they should publicise it to expose the culprits, it feels like every sex crime in my area makes it to the top of Reddit etc.
This has led to some people having the impression that these crimes are on the rise or at elevated levels compared to the past, when the stats say the opposite (apart from a blip during COVID)
There's also a sub theme of crimes involving foreigners getting more attention, which has also led to the mistaken impression that foreigners commit disproportionate amounts of sex crime.
