Dear PAO,

My sister’s friend is a rape victim but is afraid to report to the authorities for fear of retaliation by the perpetrator and because she thinks the case might be weak. According to her, there was no complete penetration, and her hymen might not have been lacerated as she was able to resist and fight back. So, the man eventually gave up. Is complete penetration really necessary for there to be rape?
