it happened to me when I was 16. I never reported it because I was afraid and felt as if I had done something wrong. The way that these cases are handled I probably still would not report it if it happened again. It's devastating, demeaning and traumatic.
I still have a difficult time with attention from men and do not trust them when or if I feel they are "checking me out".
It turns a happy care free person into someone else and the trust at least for me has never returned. Strangers who are men are to be kept at a distance at all times. It turns into a life long endeavor to develop trust.
People are insensitive because they don't think about how it would feel to be violently penetrated by a nasty, smelly, ogre who hits you and threatens to blow your head off if you fight. I agree, those who are not supportive of the victim should keep silent, it's hard enough as it is.
