1 in 6 Utah women has suffered sexual violence, a new survey finds. And those in the LGBTQ community face such attacks at higher rates than other groups.

A new Utah Department of Health survey finds that one in ten adults in the state and one in six women reported experience sexual violence — and those numbers are higher for lesbian, gay and bisexual Utahns.
