'Alexandra Brodsky, a Yale Law Student and well-known campus activist who also edits the feminist website Feministing.com, said during a panel Thursday that some who are raped don't immediately realize it.
Brodsky claimed that just because a woman didn't immediately report a sexual assault doesn't mean she's lying.
"Often schools have time limits because there's this idea that if you were raped you would know it immediately, even though survivors' experiences make clear that that's not true," she said. "That often people need some time to reflect and feel comfortable speaking out."
She also suggested that campus sexual assault cases should not be turned over to the police.'
