Usually because they feel they won't be believed, or are scared about the ramifications if they do so. I'm absolutely certain that the majority of women who are victims of sexual assault tell no-one at all.

How long ago it happened is clearly relevant. If Kav ‘can’t remember’ what happened and was off his box after some giant piss up and it was last week. That’s slightly different to it being decades ago. It doesn’t exonerate him which I think is the implication everyone was objecting to.
