You also claimed those studies say nothing about child rape when it clearly shows adult men impregnate children.

And curiously enough tried to claim that underage pregnancy is no longer bleak.

Edit: what’s your point here? If it was just to point out the data is older, fine. Why are you pushing this idea that underage pregnancies are nothing to be worried about anymore and that it’s not bleak to have children being impregnated?

Do you really believe that because the rates have fallen that it’s not a concern or that it doesn’t occur?

Rereading the cited data again, it doesn't actually say that adult men impregnate children.

Obviously, they do, but the presented data doesn't support that conclusion.

Is there perhaps some data that you didn't present that would support your argument? Did you miss something essential to your point?

Do these statistics refer to 60 19-year-old girls? 60 million 8-year-olds? How do you know? How would I know?

Fair. I should have said that the cited data provides no data quantifying the prevalence of child rape. From the cited data, you cannot tell me if it was derived from 60 cases or 60 million. From that data, you cannot tell me the scale of the problem. From that data, you cannot tell me how it stacks up to, say, murder, or cannibalism.

I can say that whatever it was in the early 1990's, it is far better now.

Just because it’s better now doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Women and girls still get raped and assaulted every day.

Again, this data sucks. From this data we have no idea whether your claim is true. We all know your claim to be true and valid, but that conclusion does not arise from this particular data. This data is terrible.
