According to the U.S. census, there were 3.7 times as many whites as Hispanics in 2014, but the census undercounts illegal aliens, a majority of whom are Hispanic, so we’ll make it about three times as many. See “U.S. Census State and County QuickFacts: USA, 2014,”

Callie Marie Rennison, “Reporting to the Police by Hispanic Victims of Violence,”
Violence and Victims
22, no. 6 (2007). Hispanics are especially less likely than whites to report child rape, and the least likely to report childhood sex abuse of any ethnic group, according to a study by the National Institute of Justice. Carlos A. Cuevas and Chiara Sabina,
Final Report: Sexual Assault among Latinas (SALAS) Study
(Washington, DC: National Institute of Justice, April 2010),
https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/230445.pdf
. The same study found that Hispanics are more likely
to report a simple assault than whites and that the rate of sex crime reporting was unrelated to immigration status.
