That would equate to 640,000 cases of rape per year in the US. Yet, the highest number of rapes per year that I can find reported is 250,000 (source: RAIIN, Victims of Sexual Violence) Even accepting the fact that not all rapes are reported, that's a huge discrepancy.
My guess is that their 5% number would include estimates for “all rapes”, even ones not reported.
I would also assume that rapes resulting in pregnancy are reported at a higher frequency.
Just a few ideas.

Yeah, I thought that as well. But still, there's too big of a gap in reported rapes and pregnancies.
