@pcolli That depends: Is she a white female reporting a violent assault by a stranger, or is it one of the much more common scenarios? Does the law enforcement officer she speak to ask her “what she was wearing” and atempt to shame her out of filing a report? If she does, is she in the (apparently) 75% of cases that won’t see anarrest, much less a conviction?Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult for victims of either gender to see legal action following a sexual assault. I don’t have the numbers but I believe a case of woman-on-woman would typically also not see follow through.Basically the case is that almost everyone reporting rape is effectively silenced.Not to mention getting over the social stigma of reporting in the first place…
