said, and this caused her to blame
herself afterwards.
Two years ago, Quinn volun
teered at the Brazos County Rape
Crisis Center and was asked by the
center why she wanted to be a volun
teer. She said after trying to bury the
rape in her subconscious, she finally
admitted it had happened. She con
tinues to deal with the rape now, she
said, but is still angry with herself for
not reporting it.
In California in 1980, she said,
laws were different, and date rape
victims who received no physical in
juries were ignored or treated as the
criminals.
Kapella of the CS Police Depart
ment said with the help of the Rape
Crisis Center, the rape investigators
in College Station are trained to deal
with the victims in a sensitive man
ner.
“Many officers don’t realize that
all rape victims don’t act the same,”
he said. “Some smile, some laugh,
some cry. Some don’t talk at all. The
Crisis Center volunteers sensitize the
officers through training and role
reversal situations — where the offi
cer becomes the victim and the vol
unteer is the officer.”
Quinn said the Rape Crisis Center
volunteers sometimes go along with
officers to offer support, and the in
vestigators she’s seen have always
been sensitive and compassionate.
Hope, associate director of the
Student Counseling Services, said a
rape victim should immediately seek
medical help although shock often
may mask physical injury.
Adjusting is difficult, Hope said,
and half of date rape victims have
not fully recovered up to six years
after the rape. But one-third recover
within six months, she said.
Date rape can replace trust with
fear, guilt and shame, she said, and
counseling tries to show victims that
they weren’t at fault.
“Women have the right to set
their own sexual limits,” she said,
“and a date or a kiss doesn’t mean
you’ve agreed to have sex.
“Be forceful when you say no. Act
angry and get physical if necessary.
In general, the assertive approach is
best. Rapists desire power and con
trol, and women should show they
won’t be conquered easily.
“Still, there are no guarantees.
And if it happens, women must do
what they can immediately: call the
police, and if you decide not to re
port it, at least there’s the option
later. But women must remember
that it isn’t their fault.”
