 Many other problematic aspects of rape law have also been revised in light of feminist critiques. Historically, rape by an acquaintance was not seen as “real rape” (Estrich 1987) but as more likely consensual sex. Acquaintance rape was made virtually impossible to prove by strict corroboration requirements and other rules of evidence. Another hurdle to proof of rape presented by the rules of evidence was the requirement of active resistance: victims who did not actively resist—including those who were most terrorized or who feared harm from resistance—were judged to have consented to whatever happened to them, or at least to have reasonably appeared to their attackers as consenting (McGregor 2007). Victims also were discouraged from pursuing complaints by evidence rules that permitted them to be examined about past sexual histories, thus forcing them to reveal intimate private matters and subjecting them to judgment as immoral themselves. Victims who delayed reporting alleged rapes, perhaps out of shame or fear, were considered not to have made a fresh complaint and thus to be less credible. Many of these rules have been formally overturned but it is less clear whether as a practical matter they continue to infect decisions such as whether to prosecute, how to examine witnesses, or how to assess the credibility of witnesses.
