I am a professional writer. I'm seeking to craft a story which involves a character who suffered sexual abuse as a child. I'm aware that sexual predators often percieve something in their victims that allows them to "choose" their "prey" more effectively. The character will thus suffer from a date rape later in the tale, and, with appreciation tthat every experience differs, what are your views on it? Is it likely that she would "lock-up", go completely still, and be unable to fight back due to her previous trauma (perhaps flashbacks?). Would this stillness then result in a complete lack of physical evidence (only normal, minor vaginal bleeding / tearing), such that the perpetrator could concievably "get away with it"? Sorry that this may be a very personal question for some, but it's essential that the details of this are correct. I just want to know if the above scenario is even possible. Any doctors, past victims, or law enforcement experts out there who'd be willing share?
