"I don't think the numbers are increasing. Its only the reporting, to the authorities which has increased," Huelgo told reporters when asked on whether incidents of sexual violence have increased.
While attributing the reporting of such cases to increase awareness among the people, she said most women in the USA know who their rapist is.
"A medical examination cannot always tell you whether I was raped or not. Only I as a victim can tell you," the activist, who is the chief counsel to the Task Force on Human Trafficking and Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence of the American Bar Association, said.
