Is the "I was Sexually Abused" line overused?

It seems anytime anyone illustrates abnormal or undesirable behavior, the immediate conclusion is that they were molested, raped, fondled, or abused. I know it happens...but I have a hard time believing it happens as often as claimed. A recent stat purports 1 in 3 women have been sexually abused. Either they have a very BROAD definition of sexual abuse (i.e. someone bumping into them on the subway)...or this stat is a bit exaggerated.
