Re: Texas college campus rape victims seek justice that 'rar

If I recall correctly it really doesn't matter if criminal charges are filed, it is if an offense report is filed.

A big problem for this case is the two lapse between the attack and the report. Is there still physical evidence of the sexual assault? If not, then the prosecutor, in most cases, will not file charges.

It is important for any woman that is sexually assaulted to as soon as possible contact the police and file a report. Go to the hospital and report it there, the Emergency Department should have rape kits available and there are normally counselors to help the victim through the process.

Sad situation, but parents should warn their children that when they go off to college there are predators out there.
