That is one of the reasons victims of sexual assaults do not choose to press charges or seek charges. There are a myriad of reasons why victims of sexual assault won't, and they're far too lengthy to be covered by this committee's scope. They know that a slap on the wrist is all that's going to result, so why put themselves through that painful process of reporting the assault, having the examination, and testifying. It is very intrusive, especially for victims of sexual assault. So that is a concern.
