I am from a country where prostitution is legal and rape rate is higher, you can say top ten in the world.

Rest you imagine.

Are those statistics standard across the board in ALL countries where prostitution is legalized?

I’d guess not...

No sex related crime rates are not the same across all the countries where prostitution is legal.
In my country it's legal so I observed the situation closely.
Legal prostitution and sex crime is two different things and are not connected. You would find many countries where the crime rates as well as amount of brothels are low compared to where prostitution is legal.
You also have to consider that all the abuse and sexual crimes are not even reported.
So it's mostly depends on the social culture and people's behavior.
I gave my explanation separately here in answer. If you got time you can go through it for a better understanding.
Thanks for reading.
Have a great day.

ah k, cool.

great articulation. at first, it seemed like your brief comment was just direct shut-down of my perspective - while it's great to hear/see/read this expanded view of the various related factors, which are all critically-important to the matter...

Thanks for your understanding. 😊
Stay happy.

I've read the conclusions of that paper, legalizing prostitution DOES bring increase in human trafficking, but PROTECTS sex workers better than if prostitution is criminalized.

So in a way, legalizing prostitution DOES reduce sexual crimes overall.

You mistakenly read the conclusions of the journal my brother. In this study using an economic approach. So, legal prostitution from 150 countries sampled in the study shows that scale effects are more dominant than substitution effects. The scale effect of legalized prostitution leads to an expansion of the prostitution market, increasing human trafficking.

I am from a country where prostitution is legal and rape rate is higher, you can say top ten in the world.

Rest you imagine.

Then those people must not be willing to spend money on prostitutes.

Yeah, they are like common man, they used to find other easy targets.
social cultures and the judiciary system lets them do so.
I tried to explain it by my answer vastly.
If you got time or interest you can go through it.
Thanks.
