I think we can all agree that there's too much victim blaming in rape cases generally, regardless of the cultural or religious background of the victim.
I think Brow is reaching here though. Brow's statement at it's core is essentially: "women who are more likely to be shamed are less likely to report the rape." I don't think anyone could seriously dispute that claim.
I'm not certain he's got the goods that the LDS church is more likely to be shame the victim though. I think there's another argument to be made that patriarchal structures, especially those that view women as some kind of special chattel, may not perceive that women have enough agency when in the presence of respected men or may hold the man more responsible because of his privileged status. In the absence of some hard stats I'm uninclined to draw conclusions.
As an aside, I always wonder how the percentage of crimes that aren't reported is determined. By definition they are unseen data points.
Given the statistics I'd be stunned if there aren't victims that didn't report. I'd be further surprised if we didn't see some identified in the weeks and months ahead. This happens in virtually every serial rape case where once the dam bursts a whole flood of victims comes forward. We just saw this happen with Sandusky.
