I don't think the rate is that high:
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm10/cm10.pdf#page=9
has a child abuse/neglect rate of 9.2 per 1000, with sexual abuse being less than a tenth of the total cases.

As for the other points I'll just dispute #2. Statues of limitations reflect that it can be difficult or impossible to get adequate evidence or testimony a long time after the event. Eyewitnesses are often confused the next day, after twenty years the testimony is very unreliable. In child sexual abuse cases the well has also been poisoned by the damage done by the "recovered memories" fad.
