  • Summary

  • What happens when you pick up the phone or go to the hospital and decide to report rape? No, really- what comes next? Will your rapist go to jail, or will your detective refer to the strangulation mark on your neck as a "hickey" in his report?
    Why is your case less than 1% likely to be prosecuted?
    Why is your rapist less than 5% likely to be arrested?
    Why is the "jury pool", aka society, the scape goat for all rape cases ending before they start?
    What kind of aftermath is the survivor left to deal with?
    This episode introduces this series about the realities of reporting rape from first contact with the system, investigation, prosecutorial decision-making, and what it all means for survivors to live in a society where their experiences are continually dismissed for generally all the wrong reasons.
