Rape Support Group
If you or someone you know has been the victim of rape, this is the place to find support and get advice. If you want, discuss your experience, share your feelings, and meet others going through a similar situation.
I was raped nearly two years ago. I have had 4 operations and have only just got myself better. It went to court a couple of weeks ago and he got away with it. I’m steuggling coping with how much pain and misery me and my family have suffered for him to just walk free. I’m starting to hide away and not ever wanting to leave my house. Just looking for some support from others. And to help others who are going through something similar.

The police dont believe me and the guy who was my chiropractor is walking free. I will likely never see a courtroom because they think im lying. If i were you id sue him civily now that evidence is all gathered and the criminal decision made. The burden of proof is much lower in civil court and the perpetrator will pay for his actions. My issue is i cant even find a willing civil lawyer who will help me in my town due to the corrupt jurors here. I wish you luck and send you hugs. Im so sorry for what you are going through. Please get a restraining order if you think the perpetrator can hurt you now that he was found not guilty.

I’m so sorry the police don’t believe you. It’s such a difficult subject. And I completely understand now why a lot of men and women don’t come forward when raped/abused. It’s so difficult knowing he’s free and I’ve spent all together about a year in hospital stuck in a hospital bed barely able to walk! I hope you get the justice however that may be that you deserve. The officer on my case has already put in place a restraining order and it was part of his conditions when he got let out of court. I’ve also moved and changed number and social media so he won’t find me hopefully. Thank you for your reply, hugs and stay strong xx

Are you in counseling? If you aren't you should definitely get into it because going through this alone isn't a good thing. Even if you have family support it's still beneficial to have a counselor. If it takes a while to get one there's a great website called www.rainn.org and they have live chat on there. Big big hugs!
