I'm a gynaecologist (gynecologist), so I used to give evidence as an expert witness in court once in a while in rape cases.....not anymore....and the police were fantastic, and the courts seemed to treat the women very sensitively. When I was a hospital doctor, we would often call the police in where we suspected rape, and/or abuse, and again, they were fabulous. Whilst I have not experienced what you have described, I can believe that it exists.
