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.
