In a project I worked on in 1987 (survey conducted at a university-associated clinic, data unpublished AFAIK, N ~ 200), the numbers were 1 in 7 women and 1 in 10 men reported having been sexually assaulted, at some point in their lives. That also fit fairly well with my group of friends at the time. About half of the incidents involving my friends were childhood (pre-pubescent) age.
