I don't get it

So the story of the pregnant marine who was killed (apparently) by another marine who raped her is everywhere. But one thing keeps jumping out at me as being illogical:
Months earlier, Lauterbach had told superiors at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, that Laurean had raped her.

However, "At no time did she indicate that she was threatened by Cpl. Laurean," Sokoloski said. "When she was asked if she felt threatened by Cpl. Laurean, she said she did not feel threatened."
Wait....someone rapes her, she takes out a protective order, and yet at no time did she indicate that she was threatened by him? What does it take to indicate that you're a weeeeeeeeee bit uncomfortable around this person? Flags? Flares? Somebody dropped the ball here.

"Dropped the ball" is an understatement! the only thing I see positive now that the Marines are being held to the fire is that they are issuing him AWOL instead UA. That means Mexico HAS to extradict him no matter what the treaty is. Dealth penalty will be back on the table then...
