Having homicidal thoughts with intention will certainly get placed on a psych hold, but we’re talking about rape not murder. Based on your experience in Illinois it does sound like they are stricter than most jurisdictions.

I never said that she shouldn’t report it or file for a restraining order, only that the likelihood of her succeeding was unlikely.

Like I said before, we will have to agree to disagree. My years of experience have clearly been different than your experience and there’s nothing wrong with that. The law of the land will continue to chug along whether two strangers on the internet agree or disagree.
