Re: Someone Help Me! I Was Raped

I have been raped three times and men used to hit me. A therapist told me that the abuse would continue as long as men felt safe doing it, and if I would press charges they would know not to mess with me again. I pressed rape charges and I pressed assault charges. I have not been raped or hit again in 30 years. The last man who hit me told me that the judge made him go to anger management classes and it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He thanked me for pressing charges. So if I were you, I would press charges. Otherwise you are at risk of getting raped again. Especially if you keep the same boyfriend, and he is living with a rapist. A lot of parents would threaten to press statutory rape charges against anyone who had sex with a child your age. Do they know you have an older boyfriend? Are you having sex with him? Tweet
