I wish I knew of more such data that was well compiled.
Keep in mind, that if a woman reports about a high status man raping her, he will immediately take action to silence the report and will typically have much more power to do so than she will have to get the word out.
Especially since rape tends to go together with alcohol, its hard to make a powerful and persuasive argument. “I got drunk and he had sex with me against my consent” does not hold up well in court. The woman gets accused of not being in control and “defaming” the guy, and and is quickly silenced, typically without investigation regarding the accuracy of her claim.
That’s part of why the study of rape self report that I quoted is so beautiful—its the first I’ve seen of uncontested accounts of rape, and a set of guys actually admitting that they used alcohol intentionally for the purpose of being able to have sex with a woman even if she protests.
