Why bother, we have, by some estimates, 10s of thousands of untested rape kits in the country. Nobody really cares or believes the accusers.

"On the backlog numbers at its worst
Unfortunately, we don't have an overarching number (of untested rape kits) so that's why we still talk in estimates and that maintains the problem. But if you look at states like Texas, where they were one of the pioneers in auditing and inventory in their kits, they had 20,000 kits. We had thousands in cities alone and the numbers were to say the least disturbing. In Illinois, 4,000 kits. Michigan, 11,000 in Detroit alone. In Ohio, 4,000 kits found in Cleveland and then 10,000 kits across the state."
If no one is going to look at the evidence they gather after you go to a hospital and submit your crotch for examination by a bunch of strangers, there isn't a strong incentive to go through the additional humiliation. Being raped is bad enough.
