By remaining silent are some women de facto enabling rapist?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 7th, 2010

While doing some follow up to a story I heard on the news I discovered that 60% +/- of women in America raped on campus do not report it. What I wonder is by not reporting it if the women were de facto enabling the person that raped them to go out and rape some other woman because he either feels law enforcement never spoke to him that he did nothing wrong, that she enjoyed it that is why she said nothing, or because he is physically still on the prowl looking for more victims? Is it that many don’t say anything because they more than not know the parson who raped them and thus they fear for their safety either by him or his friends?

A brief posted by Butler University said 3% of college women will be raped during their years on campus, if mated with the statistic that 60% of rapes go unreported suite101.com so, a campus of say 8,000 female students there will be 240 pares, and of those rapes 96 of them will not be reported. Playing conservative odds even if some of those rapes were committed by the same guys there could easily be 70 rapist who will not have to answer for their Boorish deed. Since no ill effects happened to them they may feel free to take sex from other girls that is until one turns them in. By not saying anything which will put a stop to them, are not silent gals de facto enabling them to keep going?
