I was 15 when it happened and my boyfriend was 18. I’d met him as he and his mum worked with my mum.
we started dating and were told not to do any funny business, then we went out to watch the Christmas Light switch on and as it finished late he stayed over.
when we got back t my house we were laying in bed chatting and it started to get intimate at first I was fine with it but once he started having sex with me I didn’t want to anymore it didn’t feel right I told him no and to get off, I tried to push him off but nothing worked. After a few more thrusts he stopped and got off me and said that id better sort him out later.
I was so mortified and embarrassed I didnt report this until a year or so later.

I’m glad you reported it eventually. I’m sorry this happened to you, he’s going to pay for it. Stay strong okay? And you’re really brave for sharing this and making it through
You did not do anything wrong and you are very brave to have reported it and to be helping others to understand like you are now. You have the right to say no and also – he is an adult and believe me he knew better, he knew it was wrong. Stay strong and true to yourself – no one has the right to treat you badly, and – happy new year also.
Thank you so much for sharing your story here. He had NO right to continue when you said no. I understand that what happened to you drives feelings of embarrassment but please know that to me you have nothing to be embarrassed about.
Many people don’t report or report after some time has passed. It says nothing about you. You did what you had to do to get through it. If you aren’t already, I would encourage you to talk to a therapist about what he did to you. They can help you work through the embarrassment if you are still feeling it and help you to heal. You deserve to heal and I believe in you. Sending you lots of love, Alexis
