"The woman told her father that she had been dancing at a party and that someone had hit her.
It wasn't until the next day the woman told her father she had been raped, he said."
The Father of the accused said she stopped by his house around 8:00 am, the morning after the incident. He said, she dropped off her car and left with a boyfriend. He also said (look at the timing) she "told him that she had been dancing at a party and that someone had hit her."
That's very interesting. I wonder if there's a lot of truth in that statement.
A day out with her boyfriend and the next day she tells her Father she was raped. Shortly thereafter, she is able to provide details for the first time. However, there are NO reports of a concussion. She was at Duke Hospital and they released her after 3-4 hours, and the reasonable cause nor the DA has said anything about a concussion on anything remotely related.
Hmmm.
All they need is DNA
This could go either way - some rape victims never tell their families at all, some do it right away and sometimes it takes time or coaxing.
Well, how many take 31 hours to remember and are driven 2.5 miles to ask a security guard at a supermarket to call 911.
The 2nd dancer had a cell phone but drove and asked the security guard to call. Where they looking for corroboration?

It could go either way - they could be lying - she could have been doing prostitution or something else that made it dangerous to go to the police or she could have been talked into reporting it.
Sometimes women really dont want to go through everything involved with reporting a rape and it takes a while to make up their minds... I cant tell from the available information.
Any one put a name to this woman?
Did we read the same article? She went to the hospital the morning after the attack and waited until she was released to tell her father what happened.
And btw- the headline for this story is "Father: Injuries were telling He says he felt 'numb, angry'"
NOT "Victim waited 31 hours to remember details".
Talk about spin.
Read again. She told her father about the alleged rape the day after she was released.

OKAY, here (link above) her father says:
"(She) didn't tell us anything about it," he said.
In his first two interviews, he doesn't say anything about her being swollen or beaten up.
There is a second URL in my comments (top of post) and that URL has the info on her not being able to provide ANY details for 31 hours.
This is that URL:

That's where the 31 hours comes in.
Shades of the Kobe Bryant non-rape.
The FATHER CLEARLY SAYS:
"The woman told her father that she had been dancing at a party and that someone had hit her."
I noticed all your posts on this board pertain specifically to this case. You wouldn't happen to have a dog in this fight, would you?
