As for sexual assault, that's a good question. Both Berkeley and San Francisco explicitly include sexual assault on their crime report website, but Oakland does not. We don't know why this is the case, and we haven't seen anything that might look like a match under Simple Assault or Aggravated Assault. Perhaps something to do with protecting sexual assault victims' identities? Who knows.
