Fear they won't be believed (huge huge huge factor)
Fear that somehow it will be her fault because of her behavior or the way she dressed
Fear that she will be treated like the perpetrator not the victim
Fear her entire life will be on display

And with a situation like this you’re dealing with a young girl accusing a star football player at a school like Clemson. It’s not surprising in the least that she would have been afraid to come forward right away.
