In order to be successful at trial , an investigator 's reports need to be more than just an accurate summary of the investigation . Hotel security showed up and escorted the suspect out of the hotel . In fact , violent crime in rural counties increased 53 % in the fourteen years from 1983-19973 and in particular , forcible rape rose 7.4 % .4 In addition , because we know that most sexual assault crimes are never reported to law enforcement , it should not be surprising that the most common type of sexual assault ( i.e. non-stranger sexual assault ) is also occurring in rural America and in fact remains a hidden and unidentified epidemic . This entire manual has focused on preparing law enforcement to investigate sexual assault cases with an eye toward successful prosecution . Other questions to be answered in the investigator 's report are : Was the defendant fed ? This can be a very effective process for many victims in both their recovery process and as an alternative to the civilian criminal court system . Rather , defense attorneys win cases because they attack the credibility of the investigation with ammunition that comes from the investigator 's own reports .
