Discussion topic: It sounds like you'd benefit from a good discussion w/ counselors at a rape crisis center. They have wide experience and know more about this than almost anyone! Sure - more damage is a possibility and it might not stop a particular rapist even if it stops some. There are good safety tips you can learn at the center too!
