You're absolutely right: no one deserves to be sexually assaulted. And I'm delighted that you now realize that what happened was not your fault. It is NEVER the victim's fault, Hannah. Fault is ALWAYS on the shoulders of the offender because the offender chooses to offend. He made the decision to assault you, and for that, he needs to pay the price. You've got a great attitude about survivorhood. I will also say that the effects may be more far-reaching than you yet realize. As you move through the various ages and stages of your life, you may find that what he did to you comes back to haunt you. You may find that trust is a difficult concept to embrace as a result of his actions against you. You may find yourself having difficulty in relationships because of the way he misused the power he had over you. If that happens, Hannah, please don't ignore it. Seek out the help you need. You didn't deserve to be assaulted by this sex offender. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Whether or not the legal system steps up for you, whether or not he is charged and convicted for the crime he committed against you, whether or not you get the justice that's owed you, the only thing you control is how you respond. An appropriate response will always be to seek out whatever help and support you need, without turning to self-destructive behaviours. You're worthy of so much more. Thank you for sharing your story and your all-important message with my visitors and me.
