I don't know why the cops would refuse to investigate such a serious crime.
If the report is well after the alleged event, there is no physical evidence, there is only her word. If nobody in her community will talk to the investigators, there is not much to investigate.
Even if she recalls the exact date, time and place, she was there voluntarily. Stuff like the following greatly complicates any prosecution.
