I don't understand the use of "the case" in your sentences, so I am going to substitute something else. These will work:
She is reporting to the police that she was attacked two years ago.
She reported to the police that she had been attacked two years before.
She had previously reported to the police that she had been attacked two years before that, but in truth she had been attacked three years before that.
