    Rape is a vile violent physical invasion that leaves an indelible mark on a person’s soul. It is so deeply disturbing on so many levels that the shame suffered causes most victims to never report the crime. Less than 10 percent will come forward. Of those who do, they wait nearly a year (on average 11 months) to notify authorities. The overall lack of reporting, and long window of time it takes for those who do, affords assailants opportunity to victimize others. Ninety percent do. But that's likely to change with the success of Project Callisto.
