Would you report a rape?

Inspired by something a jelly said as a response to this question.

If you were raped, would you report it to the police?

If yes, why? Would it change the fact that it happened? What would you get out of filing criminal charges? Would you have justice in mind? Revenge? Something else?

If no, why not? Do you think it be easier to forget or get past it if you don’t tell anyone? Would the court proceedings be too hard for you to endure?

What about the possibility of preventing future rapes by your rapist? Would you file charges in order to keep others from going through what you did? Or is that not your concern as a victim?

I know that you can’t possibly know exactly what you’d do unless it really happened to you, but what do you think you’d do?
