There is a terrifying site showing the clothes of assault victims. It was all regular clothes. That 'what were they wearing' "ExCuSe" sucks.

The diapers and toddler clothes always make me cry.

Oh god, I don't know if I have the stomach to look.

It's ok if you don't look. It's enough to recognize it happens and that it's never the victim's fault <3
