They perform a rape kit if it has been within the last 24-48 hours (I think), take down any information, and investigate it.


-- Posted by Scandol5Mossie at 12:50 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

the person gets put in jail if they prove it..


-- Posted by twlight kiss 94 at 12:50 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

They check you out and see if your telling the truth and then they do samples and stuff,then whatever DNA come up it usually the guy and they try to find him.

Well you would call the police and give them all the information you know about the rapist. 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.

thats sexist

if you get raped, you get up dust yourself off as for a tip and go home thinking it was a good day


-- Posted by katyduck at 12:50 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

They do a rape kit with you - DNA swabs and whatnot, searching for bruising and taking photographic evidence of it. They take a highly detailed statement from you, asking for very specific details. They check for witnesses, and CCTV footage in the area if applicable. They search their database for sexual predators in the area, and track their whereabouts. Then they pool all the information together and (supposedly) try and track someone down.


-- Posted by BeautifulLies82 at 12:51 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

They ask you questions about what happened and do a rape kit. It may be scary but if you want your rapist behind bars, it makes a HUGE difference. It can be scary coming forward, but very very important.


-- Posted by Rebeccahh at 12:51 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

they put him in jail?


-- Posted by jamesshadowwolf 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.


-- Posted by Fouad at 12:52 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

Would I have to explain infront of everyone?

What's a rape kit?

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.

If you get raped, they'll take samples from your vagina and mouth.  They'll try to find as much semen and hair as possible, and look to see if your uterus and cervix have been injured in any way.  Then they'll get you a therapist to talk about what's happened.  Sometimes they bring you back for an update, so you can explain your story, and ask if you know the man.  If you know who raped you, they'll do DNA tests to match.  However, if you don't know, they'll usually search rapists who have been released from prison and live close by.  

Have you been raped?


-- Posted by Althalus at 12:52 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

no you wouldnt and a rape kit is a proceeure where they swab for semen and look for forced entry etc.d


-- Posted by countryLuv at 12:56 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

they would do a test that says if youve had forced sex and then they will look for epithelials of the man or any prints he left it wont hurt then they will do a search to match the guy in all the data bases and get a worrent for his arrest

Have you been raped?


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.

 


-- Posted by robdude at 1:03 pm on Aug. 28, 2008

They do get put in jail , and stay there, if they can't post bond.


-- Posted by Mubizz 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.

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.
