Gotta disagree with you. The mental affects of being raped are so traumatizing, that the person should be given the option. I have seen rape victims on TV, who forgo that right. But if you don't want to, you don't have to. I do, however, believe in making the victim's prior history admissable, and presented to defense at the beginning of the trial. I guess that's sort of a balance, but I don't really think it's fair for the victim, some innocent often enough (maybe not in the Kobe case, but whatever) to be paraded around, their dignity destroyed.
