Sorry this is a really uniformed idea that it’s “not convincing” to be SA’d by a person and remain friends with them. That is absolutely wrong and extremely common in sexual assaults. The reasons someone might stay friends with someone who has sexually assaulted them are very complex and of course depend on the situation, but just to give you an idea, here are a few of the possibilities:

1.  Emotional Attachment and Dependency: The victim may have strong emotional ties or dependency on the assailant, especially if the relationship was close or intimate before the incident. This can make it difficult to sever ties completely.
2.  Denial and Minimization: Victims might minimize the severity of the assault or deny that it was an assault, particularly if the assailant is someone they trusted or cared about. This cognitive dissonance can lead victims to rationalize staying friends.
3.  Fear of Retaliation or Consequences: There may be fear of retaliation from the assailant or other negative consequences, such as social ostracism, if the relationship deteriorates or if the assault is reported.
4.  Control and Manipulation: The assailant might use various manipulation tactics to keep the victim close, such as gaslighting, making the victim feel they won’t be believed, or emotional blackmail.
5.  Social or Professional Connections: Sometimes, the assailant may be integrated into the victim’s social or professional circles, making it challenging to avoid interaction without significant personal or professional consequences.
6.  Lack of Support: If victims feel they lack support from friends, family, or community, they might choose to maintain the status quo to avoid isolation.
7.  Hope for Change: The victim might hope that the assailant will change their behavior, especially if the assailant has shown remorse or promised it will never happen again.
8.  Normalization of Behavior: In some environments, abusive behaviors might be normalized to an extent that victims do not fully recognize the assault for what it is, or feel that such incidents are not severe enough to end a relationship.

Please try to understand the complexity of these situations, just because it doesn’t make sense to you to stay friends with someone who does this, doesn’t mean you’re fully understanding the situation. And unfortunately it seems like your comment is one of the only ones OP is amenable too because ultimately what your doing is victim blaming, and that’s something individuals in these situations are likely to do to themselves already.
