This does happen- not often, but it does happen. "Rape" can result in bruises and other injuries but not necessarily depending on how much physical resistance a girl puts up.Of course there are likely going to be signs of sex, forced or not is the question, like semen, pubic or other body hair. Some people (males sometimes get raped too) will fight as much as they can and USUALLY that is the best strategy, including screaming and yelling for help, especially if they are in an area other people might hear and intevene. However, some attackers may have a weapon which may or may not make a victim feel s/he is in danger of worse than rape if s/he screams out for help.
As well, some rapes are not particularly violent. "Date rape", or unwelcome sex with someone you know...which is arguably more common than stranger rape.. can happen even if the victim doesn't struggle much but simply says "no" and is still forced or pressured into sex anyway. (Same with stranger rape when the victim is too scared to struggle) This "date rape" can sometimes be open to interpretation by police and courts more so than stranger rape and often comes down to he-said, she-said.
Getting into the situation you bring up might be avoided by avoiding random /party hook-ups, (not to mention STDs!) and pressuring for sex too early in a relationship. You need to develop a long term and trusting relationship so you will be less likely to be in a position where one partner would "cry wolf" or the other partner could misinterpret a date rape scenario for being "The MAN!" and pressing for sex
How to handle that- I hope it's hypotheical in your case-immediately go to your parents assuming you are a minor..yes, you NEED their help now. It's not going to disappear. Call a lawyer. Agree to counselling and/or legal arbitration if it comes to that. If there is no evidence you could still be investigated and may or may not be charged. Convicted or not...it's difficult to say but it can be a very long, stressful and expensive business.
