## Main findings
- ONS verifies 74,174 police-recorded rape offences in England and Wales in YE December 2025.
- ONS verifies an estimated ~900,000 people aged 16+ experienced sexual assault including attempts in YE March 2025 survey data.
- Home Office data verifies 46,497 detected illegal-route arrivals in YE December 2025; 41,472 were small boat arrivals.
- Updated YE March 2026 data show 43,806 detected illegal-route arrivals; 39,271 small boat arrivals.
- The cited records do not prove that asylum seekers caused the rape increase; the transparency issue is whether more granular offence/nationality/asylum-status/route-of-entry data should be published.
