Where does it go from there?
Quite simply it turns into a detective drama.
If this happened in real life, your first stop is a hospital to get a rape kit done. The fool is bound to have left DNA behind.
Then you file rape charges. Your lack of memory is ascribed to trauma, ruffies, and so on.
As long as your assailant isn't a SCOTUS nominee, you've got a shot at justice.
Most rapists have a long history of acts building up over time.
For many years in the USA and elsewhere, rape victims were not believed and DNA test kits were warehoused without actually being run through the system. About 5 or so years before the pandemic one new female DA in a midwest county discovered the rape kits of the police were being stored like that, and got herself a budget to run them.
What she found shocked the system.
Most rapists commit hundreds of rapes before being caught, and it often starts very small - sexual harassment in the office, or college pranks, or sex with a drunk girl at a frat party, or public flashing.
They build up over time, and left uncaught almost ALL murders with a sexual element began with that extremely long tail - that was ALL completely already in the system, but to which police paid no attention because it was just "hookers, black women, and other worthless people".
What they found as the tested was repeated around the US is the same pattern holds everywhere, and in many places 90% of sex crimes were being committed by a pool of as few as a dozen actors.
In the right district now, DAs are very eager to run these tests as it can either lead to catching a serial assailant where the tail end is almost always a serial killer, or it can be the beginning of a train they hope to stop before it leads there.
And a protagonist who does 'MC' is a perfect case for the kind of person that will naturally eventually be a serial killer/rapist.
The police might never understand the original MC crime, but with DNA and all the hallmarks of something done to the victim to block memory - they know rape when they see it now. At least many DAs do.
Police are still likely to try and dismiss the victim as a 'slut who asked for it or was Black so deserved it.'
But DAs, even a racist DA, can spot a career defining prosecution from a mile away, and this is it. Even losing a case like this would be a career boosting moment as you could show you 'did the good fight' but got stopped by 'powerful abusers'.

Since I imagine some 'predators' read these forums, my note to them would be this:
If you find your conduct has been anywhere along this chain from 'harassment' to 'serial rape / murder'. Presuming you have not yet hit that last step, please seek help.
Even if it's just "sexually harassed someone", get a therapist and break the chain before you walk down it too far.
The pattern is too consistent and too predictable. To such a degree that you can almost now look at someone who has done some 'frat boy hijinks' and reliably predict that in a decade or two, absent mental health intervention; he will be burying bodies in his backyard.
