Yep, the quicker it can be reported and DNA evidence collected, the quicker some asshole can be caught. 

To play devil advocate a smidge (and before I mention this, I am in no way condoning rape or anything of that nature) any crime should be reported generally, although obviously in this day and age, most know that evidence is needed to secure a conviction, so it "sort of" makes sense to say something like that "Don't report a crime unless you can prove it". In saying that, the education for women [and men] should be: As soon as you can report what has happened and seek help. 

My understanding is that if DNA is still present (in the form of sperm or skin under the nails etc) this can be used/tested accordingly, but this isn't around forever. That along with visable injuries/signs of rape [which can be documented] will easily build the case for a full conviction of the person commiting these crimes.

Right now, many women are coming forward, and rightly so, about past experiences. We all understand that some women won't or can't tell their story for various different reasons, but if we as people and those coming out now can say "IF something like this happens, get it checked out NOW to make sure whoever did this gets caught and goes to prison, and possibly as importantly, doesn't do this to anybody else" then we can hopefully work towards a lower rate of such things occurring.

If I've offended anybody with anything I've said, that's 100% not my intention and please feel free to correct me accordingly.
It's untrue that many women are coming forward especially in this climate. The president of the united states berated and shamed Dr. Ford for coming forward. This sends a very clear message that if you report it, you will suffer.

I reported my rape immediately. I had a kit done. It was never processed. There was little to no physical evidence. Very very often, there is no physical evidence. If there is physical evidence, even eyewitnesses, the perpetrator is VERY rarely sentenced. If they are sentenced, it's often a slap on the wrist.

In a perfect world. But women are blamed, doubted, shamed, ridiculed for it. Even the POTUS does this.
