In 1978 there was no generally accepted concept of date rape; if rape happened it was always and only the woman's fault. There was no point reporting an acquaintance assault, and there were no supportive social networks. The only responses would be, "What were you doing there? What did you do to provoke it? Just because you acted like a slut, don't ruin HIS life by making trouble."
It just didn't make sense to report date rape at that time.
