Rape victims generally prevail in court cases. (Case-Control Study).
RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. -- When sexual assault victims pursue legal action against their assailants, they prevail in the vast majority of cases, regardless of whether they sustained traumatic injuries, a case-control study determined.
In an interview, study investigator Dr. Jennifer H. Wiley said she hopes her study results will prompt physicians to "really encourage people to file charges and to let them know that trauma is really not a prerequisite for getting a guilty verdict."
Dr. Wiley, currently in private practice in Troy, N.Y., directed a comprehensive study of the legal outcomes of sexual assault during her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington, Seattle. The university's department of pediatrics and Seattle's Center for Health Training also participated in the research. She presented her results in a poster presentation at the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Obstetrical and Gynecological Society.
The investigators compared 132 cases in which prosecutors filed charges at the behest of female sexual assault victims with 264 cases in which medical care was sought but no charges were filed.
