I'm giving an informative speech about how many child abusers are not prosecuted. Please give me some statistics, maybe websites, and anything else you have to offer

As a former prosecutor, I know that statistics were generally kept when cases that were brought to us were rejected. These were usually kept as internal statistics for use within our office alone.
The best places to find a compilation of overall statistics is by doing a broad-based search using a search engine like "dogpile" or "metasearch." If you use "dogpile.com" the site searches 12 separate search engines for "child abuse statistics" or any other info phrase you would use. It saves lots of time. I did a preliminary check using dogpile.com with your topic and it led to lots of useful information.
For a more technical search, the "northern lights" search engine is useful.
Good luck.
