wow, take it easy here. I'm saying this is my opinion, not law or right or wrong or whatever. I guess I should have said "this is how I think I would...." I'm sure there are more people who get raped and never talk about it but that isn't always the case. Without knowing who this person is, we can't assume that she is either weak willed or strong willed without knowing her character. She did come forward to the police though so if this is all true, that's a step in the right direction because if she was afraid of everything coming into light, she would likely just never talk about it. And I do feel I know a little of the subject as someone very close to me was a victim of rape and had to deal with everything that went along with it.

Some people are going to feel guilty and blame themselves and try to hide what happened and not want anyone to know about it. Some will be the opposite. I think that I would react one way. I don't know how she'll react but if this is all true and she was a victim, I hope she gets the help she needs and has a chance to move on in life. If this isn't true and she is just doing it for the money, I hope she's exposed but still gets the help she needs to realize how wrong it is to accuse someone of this.
