We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the specific data you have requested.
The data we publish relating to child sexual abuse is collected via two main sources, the Children’s Crime Survey for England and Wales (CCSEW) and the abuse during childhood module from the adults Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). The CCSEW is asked of children aged 11 to 15, whilst the abuse during childhood module is asked of adults aged 18 and above about their experiences of abuse before the age of 16.
You may find some of the data in our ‘Child sexual abuse in England and Wales: year ending March 2019’ publication and its accompanying dataset useful. Table 12b of this dataset provides estimates on the relationship of the perpetrator to adults who experienced sexual abuse before the age of 16, which includes data for friend or acquaintance. However, we do not hold data on the age of the friend or acquaintance when the abuse happened and are therefore unable to confirm if they were a child.
