There is definitely a myth about "why would he rape someone, he's goodlooking/charming/wouldn't need to". Just as there is a myth that only attractive young women get raped - rape as a compliment, as it were.
They are, of course, myths.
I've just remembered - I have a friend, who I've known for 15 years. She's not a close friend, we're really only still in contact because she's my beautician now, but we knew each other in high school. She said to me the other week, oh, did you know that Fred Bloggs in back in town? And after thinking about it for a while, I thought fuck it, and said to her, I'm not very interested in talking about him, because he raped me when I was 16.
And she didn't say outright, you're lying. But she led a line of questioning, all disingenuous-like, about oh, do you remember being young, it was so easy to have sex that you later regretted, etc.
I realised afterwards that what she meant was, you're lying, you just regretted having sex with him.
Now, why, if that were the case, would I dislose it 16 years later? This wasn't a much-loved bloke, this was a guy who at the time was known for coercive behaviour and dating underage girls. As far as I know, he's not made a success of his life, so he's hardly a monetary target. There was absolutely no possible motive for me to say what I did except the real motive - to tell her please don't talk about him, it's painful to me. And yet, 16 years later, I disclose, and the assumption is still that I must be making this up.
With that against one, it's not easy to keep believing yourself.
