Victims will experience many psychological difficulties from the result of rape. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/112409258/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0
state "many rape victims develop a syndrome that meets the DSM III diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder. The patients coping mechanisms of dissociation and amnesia are described and the implications for the delayed post-traumatic stress disorder are discussed. Principles of therapeutic management are delineated with special emphasis on therapeutic alleviation of guilt by refraining and restructuring the patients perception of the rape." Moving on becomes increasingly difficult and the mental stress can nearly drive one insane.
Rapists usually never recover. After being found guilty, many also suffer from mental stress. Some may kill themselves because they know they'll never truly feel forgiveness while others may return to their old sick ways. It is difficult to truly understand what will happen to the rapist at the end of the day. Hopefully they feel enough remorse to get help and change their ways forever.
Bystanders become those who are afraid of whether or not rape will ever happen to them. But they will also take the necessary steps and precautions to make sure their safe and something like this never happens to them. Having a elevated level of awareness can be promising in their future success with not being assaulted and protecting themselves.
