What I mean is that while she is responsible for telling, it's also true that the trauma from the situation could have made it extremely difficult to discuss. You can't just say, "You should have said something". There are circumstances to consider, and they can make it near impossible to discuss it. There are some women who are actually incapable of speaking about their rape. They simply can't do it. It can take years of intense therapy to help them.
