We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, we only hold the requested data of the number of Police Recorded Crime rapes by victim relationship for the year ending March 2020.
Our publications and data predominantly concern crime as it is experienced by victims, or as it is recorded by police. We do not generally produce or hold statistics on perpetrator characteristics but occasionally we have requested data to be included in specialist releases.
Table 22 in the year ending March 2020 edition of our Sexual offences prevalence and victim characteristics, England and Wales shows the percentage of police recorded sexual offences, by sex of victim and type of relationship. These data are based on 15 forces that provided data to the Home Office Data Hub.
We also hold data for the year ending March 2022 in Table 21 of our year ending March 2022 edition of Sexual offences prevalence and victim characteristics, England and Wales and for the year ending March 2018 in Tables 25 and 26 of Sexual offending: Home Office appendix tables.
These data were sent to us by the Home Office. It is possible that they may hold the statistics you require, but they will be best to advise you on this. They can be contacted at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
If you have any other crime-related queries in the future, you can email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
