Yeah, I can immediately think of five close friends who've been raped (probably more if I work my memory a while), two of them as children, plus various "almosts". Some of those people didn't tell me about it until we'd known one another for years, and I'm assuming there are quite a few more who I don't know about because they haven't told me.
Of those, one went to the police, which I think is about average. That guy did get convicted, but he made it pretty easy for the prosecution.
