Your point of view makes perfect sense and your outrage is very understandable.
Yes, the "secrets" can make it easier for someone who is a serial rapist to keep on raping others.
I think if you care about someone who is a victim, you should definitely be talking with her about it and not telling her to sweep it under the rug. You should tell her that it is not her fault and that you will be there for her and support her no matter what she decides to do about it.
From my own point of view, as a victim I felt like someone had taken all my power away. I couldn't imagine going to someone I trusted and telling them what happened to me, and then having them go against my wishes and tell the authorities. I would have felt doubly victimized.
The rape victim is the one who was wronged, isn't it her decision alone what to do about it? It would be a noble thing for her to try to stop someone who might be a serial rapist, but is it her responsibility? If the guy continues to rape others, this victim could hardly be blamed for that.
Obviously, these opinions are my own, and I am sure other victims might have different opinions. It also makes a difference how old the victim is.
Where can we discuss this out in the open? I have no idea. But you are right, it is something that should be happening.
