Each month the country's public prosecutions office releases a break down of sexual offence statistics and 2018 saw 141 people charged, all of them male.
Twenty one of those charged were under the age of 18.
About a quarter of the offences occurred in domestic relationships or where the accused was known to the victims.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions said the youngest victim of serious sexual offence was a two-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by her father.
