When I went through drug rehab, (outside of Philly), one of the people I was with going through it had been picked up by a motorcycle gang when she was 14, held in a motel for three months (one they took over) and raped repeatedly.
The motorcycle gang is a national gang. If you owned the motel, would you have the guts to fight the gang? Even if he picked up the phone to report what was happening, only a few members would get busted. And then he'd have to face all the rest from the rest of the country too. And then in a few months time, the ones busted would be out of jail and could also come after him.
They let the girl go, but the family couldn't move because their younger daughter was on dialysis, tapping every penny they had. Two years later, the same gang picked up the same girl, but "only" raped her for a month.
Not a blasted thing any of us could do to help her. For some reason, rape isn't a big deal, unless you are the target. No one goes to prison for long for such a "minor" thing as rape.
