​​I would like to know the number of male housemates (people in house shares) that have been accused or convicted of sexual assault or rape in England, can I have this as a breakdown of every year for the last 5 years.

We said

Thank you for your request.

We do not hold data on individuals accused or convicted of crimes. This data may be available from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) who can be contacted at ESD@justice.gov.uk or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) at enquiries@cps.gov.uk.

Table 1 of our Nature of sexual assault by rape or penetration, England and Wales dataset shows the victim-perpetrator relationship that is reported by the respondent to the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), adults aged 16-59 for the years ending March 2017 and 2020 combined, which may be of interest.

If you have any other crime-related queries in the future, you can email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
