You really think that women never struggle with the decision on whether or not to come forward after being sexually assaulted? Really?? Honestly?? You really don't think thousands of women are a victim of sexual assault and never tell ANYONE about it? Sexual assault is a very humiliating, violating experience. Women make the wrong decision and keep it to the themselves all the time.

Is it really that far fetched to think that she simply didn't know what to do, finally confided in the correct person, and that person got her to come forward?

Again, I have no clue what the situation is, and I don't have an opinion one way or the other. But to say that because she didn't scream it from the rooftops 5 minutes after it happened she must by lying is just plain silly.
Exactly, it is such antiquated thinking - and personally dissappointing to hear from someone I consider to be an intelligent person.
