There are many legitimate reasons why people may not immediately report to the police. It may take time to process what has happened to them.
There are often deep feelings of shame or guilt associated with it. The initial response may be to avoid reliving the experience and carry on with their everyday lives. This is a self-protection mechanism following serious trauma.
Do you have any idea how high the percentage is for people not reporting to the police?
It isn't always as easy as you think.

Very true. Furthermore, Ethan could just deny having anything to do with it. Worse still, Ethan could have been bluffing this whole time.
cant wait to see where we going forward but lol then again what do i have to shut out layla completely ? 
i been nothing but dismissive to her for testing and she just does nothing in the "feels" apartment, but hey keep on making the game and lets see where we go

I feel like if she goes to the police not only she can get a release from the contract, if Ethan actually released the video it would be pretty incriminating to him.
She goes to the police saying "this guy is blackmailing me with a video from when i was 18", he denies it and goes free...
Said video comes up a few days later and he's the number 1 suspect.
There are also ways to tape him or make him say it in text.
As Nyx just pointed out, it's more shame and guilt than any lawful and logical reason.
On happy note the new main menu screen looks nice.

I don't really want to argue about this cause like I said, I don't really have a problem with it but to the points you raise I think that she had more than enough time to process what has happened and her every day life is causing her trauma at this point so it's just weird to me.
Also I'm not saying it's easy, it's like the same with rape cases, obviously I can't even remotely imagine what it feels like but just because they have their reasons to not go to police it doesn't mean that it's not the right thing which then goes back to my original argument about "rational" decisions.
Anyway she's my favorite, I don't have problem with those decisions so I don't think there's a reason to argue about this.

Did my Alexis run. And you know what? Call her sappy and shit and whatever. But I loved how feel good this episode was on that route. The second half was a chill romantic time, and it was pretty great. I feel like extended sequences like these are too rare in AVNS since its always "something gotta happen be it drama or action or plot beats".
And I loved that the next episode is going to start with immediate awkward drama with Alexis/Erynn meeting again.
I think I still have more to see. But good shit, NyxValeria . Its been an enjoyable ride this episode so far.

The plot device is known as Dramatic Irony, where we know stuff that the character does not. We see the train wreck about to happen and are all taken with anticipation. Sometimes the author pulls a fast one to keep us guessing too. All part of a well developed, complex plot. Good for you.
Common sense would normally tell you to go to police and report. She could also ask for a video from Ethan to see for herself if he indeed have such video, yes i agree on that. But also in this case it's her carier on the line. If we presume that such video exists then that could compromise her. So she can say goodbye to teaching and modeling. And Erynn herself said that Ethan's dad have some conections in police so he could make that case disapear. Or even worst scenario someone from police could warn Ethan to hide such video (if it exists) and when police comes knocking he could play all cool. That scenario could lead Ethan to upload such video online and again bye bye carier and the life you knew. Now that's only me.
