This responsibility falls upon the State in which the Crime took place. This is why if you are ever arrested it will say The State of XXXXX vs. The Defendant. Or the County of XXXXX vs. The Defendant.
Now if she is talking about non criminal court then yes, she is partially correct in that the majority of the time you sue someone you will have to pay for your own legal representation. However there are several attorneys and several law firms and non profits that will actually take a case pro bono.
As for the victim not having evidence of a sexual assault. Often times evidence is readily obtainable up to 48 hours after a sexual assault. Some new technologies allow it even farther than that. Rape kit is often the most common evidence sought by law enforcement after a report of a sexual assault.
Perhaps the bigger question here is why would a rape victim rather sue their accuser for money, rather than see him put into prison so he cant harm any other potential victims?
Im not entirely certain what this young woman is trying to say.
