Can I put my rapist brother back in jail?
by Anonymous
(Arizona, USA)
I was raped and sodomized from the time I was 4 until I was 12. The rapist was my brother. He recently got out of prison and moved in with my sister a block from me. We live in a small town, and I am afraid of what he might do to me while my husband is away. The guy was never charged with rape because my parent's refused to let me testify. They tell me all the time that they love him more than me, and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, that won't change, yet still I help them whenever I can. My brother admitted to this in a court room and I have debated on getting that judge to testify for me and put my brother back in jail. I'm worried about what will happen if my plan backfires. Any advice on what I should do?
