Glad they caught him! Sadly it helped a lot that she was who she was, as this kind of thing doesn't get as much attention or action from the police if you're a nobody.

RAINN reports that out of 1,000 sexual assaults, 310 are reported, 50 of those lead to an arrest, 28 arrests lead to a conviction, and 25 of those convicted will actually serve time.
Unlike so many brave survivors, I didn’t report being sexually assaulted,” she said. “Like so many women and men, I didn’t trust the system at the time. I blamed myself. I was ashamed and confused. And I thought I was strong but felt powerless.”
Even the victim who was strong enough to go off on her attacker right after the attack was too scared of the bias in the system to report the assault after it was over.
She’s referencing a different attack.
She immediately reported this one, but the cops were unable to locate him on the scene. Thankfully they got him later.
If you'd like to read more here's an article from military times from last year that talks about how our military is failing sexual assault victims.
The "fighting off her attacker" and "not reporting" are from two different instances though, the former succeeding the latter. When she was raped by a superior officer she was too afraid, but now she has grown as a part of that system (though the article says GOP so I assume everyone here still thinks she's a bad guy) and has gained the ability to call out and pursue her attacker. This is the same dressing up presentation that spreads the far reaching misinformation hurting our society, so I would encourage you to fully round out your statements with the whole truth in the future.
A very lengthy sentence is needed here.
