I think I recall hearing that she went to a hospital. They have to report it by law. The charges were filed and when the police called her, she never returned the call, so they dropped the charges. Saw or heard it recently.
Imagine the very young woman from a Christian home, perhaps a Baptist pastor's daughter, was still stunned and in shock from the assault. Unless she had strong, loving, understanding parental support, she would not be comfortable talking about the attack with a male police officer. When if ever did she tell her parents? Were they strict, rigid, judgmental about her being with a male out late until the early hours of the morning? Did they blame her for allowing occasion for the attack?
Preacher's kid are can run the gamut - be healthy and well-adjusted, fearfully compliant and submissive or rebellious risk-takers. The young woman could have been sexually-active, into drinking and drugs or pure as the driven snow.
Why were JLM and the young woman out so late behind the Vines building?
Perhaps she was trying to be nice to JLM, hanging out with him, helping him with school work, being friends with a person of another race, showing Christian love...but he mistook her attention, smiles and kindness for a come-on.
Or perhaps she was rebelling against both her parents and the school and did invite the carnal attentions of JLM, then resisted and things got violent, then she turned against him and called it rape when she had to explain why she was injured after staying out all night.
Because of his family background (drunk father, etc.) reared by grandmother, no or poor male role models, JLM was probably insecure, emotionally immature, ego-centric, needy, despite his athletic achievements and possibly out of his league academically. One type of serial rapist needs to, wants to believe their attentions and assault is consensual.

We may never know what happened that night and why.
If it was rape, we can assume JLM lacked self-control and/or the ability and willingness to read social signals - the signal to stop.
If she was indeed injured, it would seem that the girl resisted strenuously...whether before or after the first kiss.
Unless, JLM was violent because that's the way he 'liked it' or had seen or heard it modeled growing up (through parents, relatives, peers or media).
If he had been exposed to violent s ex ual acts in real life or media (books, magazines, film, etc) it would have infected his mind. P* rn is a toxic substance that disables the ability to relate in a respectful and healthy way. Most rapists use p* rn like a drug.
