Reply #50: Vaginal tears and bruising will be evident [View All]

even after 3 days, although some will have healed by then. Forcing sex on a woman who doesn't want it does internal damage. Rape is violence, and a physician trained in obtaining the evidence (like most ER docs) will be able to detect it.

That will be sufficient for the cops to pick the guy up and question him. It probably isn't enough to win a case, but it will start a paper trail on the guy and the next woman he rapes (and they are generally repeaters) may get to an ER right afterwards with fresh evidence, present in the form of hair even if he uses a condom and traceable through DNA.

Sometimes the best you can hope for is to start the process of getting these assholes off the street. That first contact paper trail may be just what a prosecutor needs to nail the next case down tight.
