Reply #52: Rad, call your local Rape crisis center even if just to talk to someone

[Generic Other]

They have trained advocates who can help you make a third person report to the police. The cops want to know what this guy is up to even if no charges are pressed. You may be helping another woman avoid a similar encounter.

Also, you need to be able to talk about your experience with someone who understands what you are going through. I used to work at a rape crisis center, and I can assure you that we would have taken your story seriously. If you need emotional support, or help negotiating the legal or medical system, you will find plenty of women ready to extend a hand.

You are the victim here. You did not do anything wrong.
