She's partially right, though; there are countless untested rape kits sitting on shelves, along with many other variables/obstacles/hurdles that make it challenging/discouraging for someone to pursue criminal charges in rape/sexual assault cases.
I think we've all been in general situations (unrelated to rape) where we wanted to act but felt the trouble of resolving the situation was not worth it.
None of this means the accusations are automatically true, and of course the evidence should determine how we judge the accuser's and the accused's character. Rather, it's simply a response to those who immediately jump to, "why didn't she tell the police? why didn't she get a rape kit? why did she wait so long? why didn't she bring criminal charges?".
seeing as the incident in question occurred in the throes of the #MeToo movement, her lack of desire to respond immediately compromises her situation more than in the past.......Brown is no angel, and running with him does give concern regarding the 'victim's' own judgement........she was providing a professional service and failed to keep it professional......regret can take on many forms......people who run with total assholes tend to be total assholes themselves
