Rapists know they'd be punished and/or shunned if they spoke of their crimes, so they don't talk about it.
Victims on the other hand are encouraged to seek help; talking through the trauma as a means of coping and healing.
It only makes sense the victim would be more commonly known about than the offender.
On top of that; a rapist is more likely to have created multiple victims, it's not just a 1:1 comparison.
This is the most logical conclusion.
Although I will say, I've met people that openly admitted to terrible behavior. Not rape, but very shitty things nontheless.
And when I hear someone admit to shitty behavior, I tend to distance myself from them long before they get to the point of admitting rape or any other form of SA.
Yep. Nobody goes full bore with their darkest secrets to strangers. Similar to racism, they do dogwhistles and jokes for a while before they would risk admitting more nefarious beliefs to someone who might judge or out them publicly.
