This doesn’t define what cases mean. Is it the # of cases reported, the # of cases indicated Or founded? The law makes it difficult to indicate cases as they can be overturned so easily upon appeal. Victim doesn’t show- case is dismissed. Appeals court, not criminal. So for example a case is indicated with A 17 year old victim. The perp appeals, the 17 year old ( who may be 25 years old at appeal time, doesn’t show. Automatically unfounded. 3 year old victim, parents don’t respond or don’t want the child to have to testify, case is unfounded. Not everything is cys fault
