I'd likely not report it. I would see reporting it as little use. This "you need to prevent this from happening to someone else" attitude I think comes from TV and the movies. Our system has yet to demonstrate how it prevents these people from attacking again.
And I am as big on revenge as anyone and I'll not pretend to be so "civilized" that I'm not. But who is to say that such an attack would leave one to be able to physically or mentally be able to exact revenge? As Charlatan said, most of us have the luxury of never having been through this.
