How do the police and courts investigate and adjudicate a crime if the victim doesn't report the rape in the first place?
Also, criminal cases are The People vs. (accused rapist) not the victim vs. (accused rapist).

I just realised I made a pretty big typo
. It certainly NOT the job o the victim to prove its (the accused) guilt. A victim doesn't need proofs to make accusation, but the State needs proofs to condamn someone.
