quote:of course it should but I can link other rape threads from td to show you one reason why someone might hesitate to do so. "She probably just changed her mind." "she regretted it in the morning." "can't be rape, she's a slut." "this poor guy's life is over."
Also agree that going to the police and hospital after rape should be strongly encouraged.
What the friends said in the article isn't far fetched.
We've all seen it here. The accuser immediately gets blamed. Then, on top of that, we've seen how many sexual assault cases get ignored by the police. It all gives you a much greater understanding of why someone may not come forward after a rape.

The accuser does sometimes gets blamed and thats wrong but women have no one to blame but themselves for that. The stakes are much higher for the accused and the accuser has nothing to lose even if she's making it up. That's not right either.

Yeah what I said on face value isn't earth shattering. I fully understand why some don't report anything. It was just reinforcement that if anything go get some data from a rape clinic. I don't know the due process but I would think you could get an unbiased report based your injuries and possible bio evidence. From there you could decide to press charges or not.

True, but it's much easier to enforce public accountability with a police department, an organization under whose very purview this should fall, than it is with a university administration. If something is wrong with a system or process, I'd much rather the target be a police and judicial system rather than a university system operating fuzzily outside the purview of the law.
