The figures have been released by the NSPCC which made Freedom of Information requests to police forces.
IN Devon and Cornwall the 93 cases included sexual assaults, rape and offences relating to obscene publications.
The youngest perpetrator was 11 and the youngest victim just four years old.
Some of the commonest crimes were teenage boys abusing female acquaintances - although there were some female offenders.
The NSPCC has described the findings as deeply concerning.
