Letters to the Editor Reporting rape difficult for women I m responding to the recent rash of articles about rape statistics. It s because of ignorant people such as him that women are losing cases. I, from personal experience, ran into this difficulty in a rape trial. I lost because of the lack of rape education of the jury panel.
Nobody understands the great pain and confusion that bombards a victim s mind after the rape.
I m sorry to break the news to you, but there are more women out there on this campus that have been raped than you think. It took me a week to report. The emotions a victim faces is indescribably awful. Reporting is the toughest task a woman can do. Unfortunately, I lost count of my friends who have been raped here.
