what should i do if i got daterape?


Question:


Answers:
If a person was date raped they should go to the hospital ASAP.

They can examine you and police officers might even be able to collect some type of DNA sample from the rapist (semen, a hair, saliva, etc).

They'll also want to give you a pregnancy test, and if the women chooses she can have them give her Plan B "the morning after pill" or several birth control pills (which is equivalent to Plan B).

The woman should definitely NOT take a shower or decline or refuse medical treatment. If she takes a shower it could wash away any DNA that she may have on her from the rapist. And, if she refuses medical help or waits too long to get medical help it may be to late to terminate an unwanted pregnancy or to get physical evidence against the rapist. It's possible for her to have bruises or scratches and if she waits to long, these heal and then there is no physical evidence that she was attacked. This can make it difficult to prove that she was attacked and raped if they find the rapist and try to bring him to court.
It happens, honey. Live with it. Was is really that bad?
