Wrong. Wikipedia now shows

> The rate of rape in Germany is 3470 per 100,000 people.

(guess who updated it :)

Quote a better source for your stats please.

Not only does Wikipedia[1] not reflect the statistics you're quoting, I find it hard to believe the rate of rape increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2009 to 3470 just 7-8 years later. Please provide your source.

Are you going to source your stats, or simply make the claim that the rate of rape in Germany is 26 times that of South Africa, with 132.4 per 100,000?
