Reply #134: unfortunately, credible witness testimony is needed- this is why all rapes are so hard to

[bettyellen]

prosecute- the DNA only means ejaculation occured. not an attack. so, you also need the victim's testimony or physical signs of a struggle or witnesses to the beginning of the act (a very rare occurence). DNA with no testimony willl unfortunately not cut it. Perhaps if her intoxication level was extreme enough or she was drugged- but it won;t be a successful prosecution with no one's word against 10 men who are going to say she invited it.
Unfortunately- this is the norm for rape cases. most often it's he said/ she said.
