"A rape occurs, when some sexual act takes place where consent wasn't given," says Lt. Lloyd Evans. "It's that simple." For the past four years the Park City Police Department had had one or no rapes reported per year until this year. In the first six months of 1989 there have been three reported cases of rape. But Evans is quick to point out they all fall in the category of date rape or as he defines it confidence con-fidence rape. "There is no mad rapist on the loose here, no one is jumping out of the bushes performing some violent act on an unsuspecting victim. Rather, women are simply becoming becom-ing more aware and more assertive and are more willing to press charges if they feel they have been violated," said Evans. And according to Det. Mary Ford, the numbers the department see are most likely low. "Nationally, more women will seek medical attention for rape than file police reports. It is a difficult crime for the victim to report and relive, re-live, so we suspect the numbers are actually much greater." Ford says it makes sense. After a rape occurs and especially a date rape the victim often feels guilty and ashamed, as if they were somehow responsible for the crime, says Ford. Nonetheless they are still generally concerned with whether or not they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease or whether or not they are pregnant. Unlike a crime where a firearm is involved or the abuse of a child is involved, the medical community can encourage the victim to report the crime to the police, but they are not under any legal obligation to file a report themselves. But should a victim want to prosecute, pro-secute, it is important the rape be reported immediately so evidence can be gathered. After showering and changing clothes, most of the evidence needed to help convict a suspect is gone. "There are really never any witnesses to a rape," says Ford. "So the case often becomes his word ft 7, . v vx. Utah Symphony associate conductor Christopher Wilkins will lead the July 7 "Concert for Apollo".

Ford, herself, is called to work on every rape reported in the city. According Ac-cording to Evans, that is a conscious decison on the part of the department. depart-ment. "While we have, on occasion, used male officers to take statements, we know we are on the opposite side of the gender table, and the last person many women want to tell the intimate in-timate details of being violated to is another man." When a rape occurs, the policy is to have Ford transport the victim to Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City, Ci-ty, where the staff is trained to deal with crisis victims. In addition, the Rape Crisis Center is immediately contacted and they send a conselor to meet the victim at the hospital. After explaining in detail what will happen during the exam, the counselor stays with the victim during dur-ing the exam, answers questions and begins processing the crime with the victim. Evans considers that process pro-cess vital, whether or not the case ever comes to trial. "What has happened is something that, no matter the degree of resistance, the victim did not want to have happen. To ignore the incident inci-dent for a week or a month or in some cases years is like trying to hide something in the sock drawer. It's still in there and when you least expect it, you may have deal with that which you tried to stuff away." "There are a lot of roller coaster emotions involved," Ford concurs. "At first the victim may feel good because they took the positive step to report the crime, but then they may feel ashamed or bad or somehow responsible. The counselors from the Rape Crisis Center are trained to work through those feelings and they're terrific about following up with the victim to make certain they are getting the help they need." While both Evans and Ford say there are no trends or related issues in the three rapes recently reported, they say in two out of the three cases (which is about average) either drugs or alcohol was involved on either the part of the victim or the rapist or both. "There are no magic answers in the case of confidence rape." says Evans. "That is when a person you have reason to trust, no matter how long you have known them, violates that trust. There are just a few simple sim-ple things to think about, and the most important may be to just be aware of your surroundings and be , in : control of your surroundings. Don't set yourself up to be a victim." Tri LI DAVID FORBUSH 942-6215 We chink old and new constructed log homes. We seal out flies and cold air.
