I'm so scared that I feel like I'm gonna vomit. Last year, a boy in my grade locked my friend in his car and raped her. She felt guilty and didn't want people to know that it happened to her and, for multiple reasons, she never pressed charges. She told me and some other friends and we all promised to keep her secret out of respect, but we didn't want him to hurt anyone else. One of the friends that she told was dating a freshman and this girl and her friends were all close with this guy and it scared the shit out of him so he warned them all. We try to warn everyone who seems to be at risk without saying who was raped and we're usually pretty good at catching it early.

Except for this time.

We're all seniors now--everyone involved at the beginning is a legal adult--and he seems to be targetting the new freshmen. He's always flirting with these 14 or 15 year old girls and one of them started getting really close to him. This girl is a close friend of my best friend in the freshman grade and I had once vaguely explained to him why I hated this guy. Knowing what had happened, he warned this girl and she came to me to hear the story first hand. I gave her all the details with the exception of who the victim was and she immediately cut this guy off. The problem is, they were really close to dating and he was not happy to lose her. He came into school the next day with bandages on his knuckles because he had punched a mirror and he's been posting things like "fuck you to whoever has been spreading rumours and ruining my happiness"

I'm scared for my friends and for myself. I don't wanna put anything past this guy and I don't want anyone else getting hurt. We can't aftord a lawyer and it's been so long since the original rape that there'd probably be little to no evidence that it ever even happened. What should I do? What should WE do?? Should I talk to the original victim or would that be putting too much pressure on her? Should I tell guidance or would nothing come of it and would he just get angrier? I'm honestly scared for my life and all or their lives as well... I can barely think straight.

Please, please help
