That’ll be the deciding factor in this. DNA won’t prove anything one way or another. DNA is there with consensual sex. So any evidence she would have is if she went to the hospital after and was examined. If she was examined and there was physical signs of rape and they did a rape kit and the doctor said it was rape in the report then Dak has a problem. So it is possible to prove a rape happened 7 years ago if she went to the hospital immediately and was examined and doctor’s report states injuries consistent with forced sex. A doctor’s report and Dak’s DNA with that report would be “evidence “ .
One thing that was said was in order to file a police report there has to be evidence. Since a police report, criminal complaint, was filed then I’m assuming there had to be some sort of evidence. They’re not going to let somebody just walk in and say this person raped me 7 years ago and then take the complaint.
I have worked with victims of sex offense for 17 years now and in my state this is how it’s done. If a complaint isn’t made within 24-48 hours or a week at the most then they won’t deal with it unless there’s some paper trail involved.
It’s very concerning to me all around, for Dak and the alleged victim, than the police took the criminal complaint 7 years after the fact. That’s a red flag that she sought medical attention and a doctor made a report stating the woman was sexually assaulted.
