The victim is absolutely not responsible for the rape. Many often mistakenly assume that she could have prevented the rape by avoiding certain social situations, dressing differently, or by putting up a fight. The mistaken suspicion may be even greater if the victim exhibits no visible physical injuries. The truth is that virtually anyone placed in a life-threatening situation can be paralyzed by fear or recognize the futility of physical resistance. There is simply no way for anyone to completely guarantee the safety of an environment.
Rape is never the victim's fault.
No one ever has the right to violate another person by sexual assault. Both men and women are raped by both male and female assailants. Victims have ranged in age from 2 months to 97 years. Women are no more likely to make a false report about rape than individuals who falsely report other felonies. If you do not struggle or use physical force to resist a man, you have not been raped.
