Data released by SurvivorsUK, a male rape and sexual abuse group, also reveals that 33% have experienced sexual assault in a bar or pub. The survey of 505 gay and bisexual men also found that only 14% of respondents who experienced sexual assault reported it to the police. Of those who did, nearly a third said they felt disbelieved or like their complaint was not taken seriously.
