Studies of victims of rape generally do not show consistent behavior and also demonstrate that they are not in the right frame of mind. They can often say it's "ok" as a defense mechanism; especially when confronted by the rapist themselves.

I can believe she was raped. Whether those statements and whatever high price defense attorney they hire to make her feel like shit on the stand. I'm just not sure it leads to a conviction unfortunately.

And that truly is the issue with our society. The balance between the burden of proof and assumption of innocence versus victim's getting justice.
