Sort of. I think that the paper I'm talking about is referenced in this paper. I haven't got time to read through and find it, however I highly recommend giving this a read anyway.
Women on low incomes form a disproportionate number of victims of sexual
violence in England and Wales: in the 2000 British Crime Survey, women from
households with an income of less than £10,000 per year were three times more
likely to have been raped than women from households with an income of more
than £20,000 per year, a finding which is consistent with other research on social
class and violent crimesGoes on to discuss that most rapes are committed by friends and family members. Grim. Depressing.

I think that at least one study has found a link between social status and likelihood to commit a sex crime.
The Swedish government were looking to prove or disprove that there is no link between religion and sex crime and stumbled across the fact that the only indicator of increased likelihood of committing a sex crime, was social status.
I.e a working class Swede was as likely to commit a sex crime as a working class mmigrant.
Of course, even if this is true, it doesn't even begin to justify his comments.
