People who hit kids on the highway can face criminal charges, even when there is no intent to hit kids. Negligence often leads to manslaughter charges. We don't always let drivers get away with "the kid came out of nowhere and I couldn't brake in time".
Advice is not irrelevant after the fact. First, there's always next time. Second, other people can learn by example. It's like the advice given alongside car crash pictures shown in driver education classes; this is useful even if the person in the crash is long dead. Learning from the mistakes of others is important.
Today, people are afraid to point out mistakes and give safety advice because it gets seen as "victim blaming". This is a problem.
If you insist on "asking what we can do" though, and you are honest about it, then you've really kicked a hornet's nest. Sexual assault rates vary around the world, and some places change suddenly when the population changes. Good luck having a productive discussion on the matter.
