I'm pretty sure 8ft is less than 2.4km

I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.

There's some shit there that can scar you for life. Don't ever go there, seriously.

Genocides typically are never actually punished and their main perpetrators often get away with it.

If you rape someone in the U.S., your odds of going to jail for it are only 0.01% . A hundredth of a percent. 0.01 out of 100 rapists ever actually see jail or prison.

I highly doubt that for every 10 000 rape cases reported only one is actually successfully pursued by law enforcement.

This one contradicts what he is saying but is still staggeringly low.

Although it does have a lot of assumptions and it looks like it combines female and male victims.
