The police almost never prosecute rape, as a crime. When they do, it is an incredible ordeal for the victim, who is forced to replay the incident multiple times to convince the appropriate authorities it actually happened.
If you believe "the police" are a major obstacle to rape, then I encourage you to actually read the accounts of victims and see if that reflects their experience.
- jki275 6y agoPolice don’t prosecute anything. District attorneys conduct prosecutions. Rape prosecutions are often difficult, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a DA who would not bring charges if they thought they had any chance at a conviction. In military courts prosecution is mandated by law and minimum charges and sentences are set by federal law.
