Let's also acknowledge though that victims of sexual assault have historically been not believed, blamed, and targeted themselves.
And often the person committing the crime is someone the victim knows, so reporting and accusing them comes with risk. And higher risk if you think no one will believe you.
The justice system hasn't served them well.
I don't think this is a moment to celebrate an "I told ya so".
