Also this wasn’t an attempt to bring up politics, its just that there may be a connection between men with cluster B personality disorders and men who are serial sex offenders. Trump is someone who falls into both categories.
But so does Ted Bundy (sociopath and serial sex offender).

Apparently the real number is 1/5, or 20%. Still huge.
The rural town in the south which was my birthplace has a total population of 209. There are 33 registered sex offenders there. I figure that’s at minimum 25 percent of the men, if you subtract the children and the women. No wonder my mom was so screwed up. I’m glad we moved away when I was a baby.
Surely that’s an anomaly? Was it like some region where sex offenders were assigned to live after release?
What specifically were they charged with? (And are they all actually “from” there, or is it a gathering place for misfits from all over?) While as I understand it, “peeing on the sidewalk” is mostly an urban legend, most such crimes were a defence for exhibitionists, that does seem excessively high for actual prosecutions.
Not an anomaly. My mother’s younger brother actually bragged to one of my dad’s brothers about how he had gone after a bunch of his nieces. My dad’s brother then went to my dad and said “Keep your daughters away from Charles (Not his real name).” This tells me that this stuff was so common there that it didn’t even occur to my mom’s brother that he ought to keep that tidbit to himself.
In addition to these examples, there is also the issue of crimes considered “sex offenses” that are not necessarily sexually motivated. For example , someone convicted of kidnapping a victim under 17 must register as a sex offender in NY, even if the kidnapping was not sexually motivated.

Regardless of the intention, you can’t bring up Trump without bringing politics into GQ. Please make your point without using Trump as an example, at least in this forum.
When looking at statistics like this, it’s important to remember that a substantial number of these people are not “technically” victims of sexual assault, they’re REALLY victims of sexual assault - child abuse victims (plus, of course, people who were raped at 18). Studies suggest child sex abuse rates might be about 20% (which certainly puts “20% of women have ever been raped” into context - of course, some of these sexual assaults would probably not be classed as rape, as such)
I can’t see that these studies of teen sexual behaviour ever make a really rigorous attempt at distinguishing “had sex” and “had consensual sex”, but people tend to read them as “had consensual sex”. Not necessarily warranted.
