At the age of 15, I was sexually assaulted by my Aunties Husband. One night he came in to my room when I was sleeping. I was awoken to find him sexually assaulting me! This meant my whole world had collapsed! At 15, after a week of the incident, I raised the problem and decided to take legal action! It was awful! Being dragged through the courts! The DPP charged him with one account of sexual assault where as I said in my statement he assaulted me 3 times. This therefore confused the Jury and this is illegal leading the case to be thrown out and the man who committed a crime walked free!

Ugh – the court system can be so grueling. I am so sorry that it didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped – it continues to astonish me how out of touch the system can be with reality. I am proud of you for your strength in posting here and I hope you are able to find some peace and healing in the next steps of your journey. Alexis
