Figures released by The National Crime Agency (NCA) show the number of people reporting rape on their first date with someone they met on a dating website or app has risen by more than 450% in five years.
The NCA revealed that 85% of the first date rape victims in 2014 were women and, of these, 42% were aged 20 to 29 and 24% were between 40 and 49.
I conducted an online dating survey for Older-Dating.co.uk recently which showed that members aged over 40 log in to the dating site twice as many times as the under 40s over the course of a year. The data could indicate that the younger demographic are taking their communications offline soon after making a connection, which is against one of the key safety rules communicated to online daters.
