There could be an unknown number of underlying reasons why someone doesn't report being raped for days, weeks, months or even YEARS. They include:
Threats from their rapist.
Quote:Blackmail.
Quote:Shame and guilt.
Quote:Being completely alone.
PTSD.
Quote:Feelings that no one will believe or understand them.
Quote:Depending on when the rape happened: No DNA evidence.
Quote:The list goes on and on.
These are very much uncalled for.
It isn't a joke to a lot of people, including Judi who was herself a victim.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
