because rape is extremely underreported, and for many victims it causes extreme shame. Regardless of the fact that they are not at fault, society treats rape victims with extreme callousness--when a story comes out in the news, people immedicately start questioning the victim's character, her past, what she was wearing, did she provoke him, etc...
They say "admitted" because it is just that to many victims. "Admitting" that it happened, and "admitting" that they were too afraid or too ignorant (as is the case with many victims of child sexual abuse--they just don't know that they have rights because they are so young) to come forward earlier.
