I don't have any idea how that could be fixed, but ideally it would be great if it became something that could be more easily reported so that the investigations could begin much earlier.
I imagine the bigger issue is that unless the woman reports the incident and gets a rape kit immediately afterward it can be almost impossible to prove that the accused and the accuser even had sex, let alone that it was nonconsensual.
