Yes. But I don't wanna tell anyone. I know it means he's still out there & other people are in danger but I can't bring myself to tell my mum & I don't know how to go to the police myself, well I do, I just don't want to.   I know you may not want to, but you have to.  This person is still out there, and you need to teach them a listen.  There's a chance that he may hurt someone else.  I know you're scared, but think of all the people you may be able to help.  Try calling 911, and telling them what's happened, and ask for a squad car to drive to your house and take you to get samples.   You will have to testify in court, but I don't think you'd have to tell your story.  You will have to tell your story a few times to the police, but they're just trying to get as much information as possible because sometimes rapists like to use the same "techniques" over and over again - it helps them get closer to whoever did it.   Also I suggest telling your mother.  This is a big thing, and can cause you to become depressed.  With her support, you'll be able to get through such an emotional time.   Now, I know that you're scared, but you have to keep in mind that this is not your fault.  You did not choose to get raped, so don't blame yourself.  You had no control over what happened.  However, you can take control by calling the police and having them find whoever did it, and locking them up.   If you need someone to talk to, PM me whenever you wish.  I'll try to help with whatever I can.   Mubizz Posted at 1:08 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 The culprit is taken to court and if found guilty, prison is their next home. And the victim, hospital is their immediate picnic site for nature verification. Justice prevails. robdude Posted at 1:03 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 They do get put in jail , and stay there, if they can't post bond.

It's not really that simple. There's usually a trial, and it depends on the evidence. Whether there's evidence of non-consensual sex on the vagina, semen sample in the uterus, evidence around the crime scene, etc. The police try to look for a DNA match in the criminal database if they find a usable sample perhaps from a pubic hair or if semen was found in the vagina. They look for potential suspects who might have been around that area or who might have done this, perhaps they find a match from a DNA sample or if the person who was raped might be able to describe the face of the person for facial identification. They then build a case and prosecute the witness if they think they have enough evidence. If you can identify the witness you also might have to testify in court. It's quite complicated and even my recounts are oversimplified. The jury will deliberate once the evidence has been presented and a witness (if any) may be cross-examined by the defense. They come up with a verdict whether guilty or not, and then the judge sentences the person.

Then they will put out a search for him and when he is found you'd both have to get taken to court to explain what happened, if they find him guily he'd get put in jail. Would I have to explain infront of everyone? What's a rape kit? Fouad Posted at 12:52 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 they take teh rapist to jail jamesshadowwolf Posted at 12:52 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 the police ask a bunch of questions.. and they will try to get evidence and eventually find him and either put a restrainning order from you or he goes to jail. depending on age.
