(Me) Child molested case open ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

I'm afraid, I'm nervous and I'm angry!

When I was a little girl (3/4th grade) I was molested daily by someone who lived in my home. When my dad walked in on something- he hit me with the vacuum cord and as I got older it was never brought up again.

Years later, my older brother hates the guy, he got arrested 3days ago for fighting the guy, choking and taking a knife out on him.

When he got arrested my dad was one of the ppl who spoke to the cops. Both my dad and my bro separately on there own told the cops why they hate that guy bring me into it.

As an adult I never spoke up for 3 reasons.

#1 because the guy is some how family and didn't want the whole family against me or just knowing

#2 who's going to believe me years later

&3 is putting myself on the line really going to get this guy behind bars

But today the cops want to talk to me and idk i feel like i should say something because I'm given a chance and because he has daughters and I also have a daughter now to be strong for.

I just need some support, some advice.. maybe someone reading this has gone threw this.

Update: they questioned me for 3hrs wanting every little detail. Today they want me to try randomly calling him to try an get a confession. My brother told me to leave it alone but he can understand how I feel about it. The cops want to take the guys little girls out of school and question them if he's done anything to them. I'm scarred he'll know the cops are listening and won't confess.

I have never been through this but I know people who have and let me just say yes, it might not change anything, but it might! And you speaking out is a huge step for everyone who can’t, and for the other little girls like your daughter that it could happen to. It’s taking a stand for all of us saying this is unacceptable. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to talk about, but really you’re a superhero, standing up for all of us and our right to decency and respect!

if i could go back and time and press charges on my abuser i would. he’s in prison now, but unfortunately it’s only because he abused someone else after me and they came forward. it haunts me

Yes speak up for yourself and his daughters! His daughters are probably experiencing similar things you did. They may not feel like they have a voice, but you have the chance to give them one. I would absolutely take this opportunity, I know that’s easier said than done, but it’s so so important. Even if all it does is give yourself some closure.

These posts make me want to shake the anonymous with some tough love. You got punished for the most disgusting things someone can do, and you’re worried about him getting in trouble? Are you serious?Everything is coming back full circle and he DESERVES IT.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I do not have any experience with this but as a mother I hope that if someone had information like this about a person who is around my children, they would speak up. I wish someone had done that for you when you were a kid, again I am so so sorry for what you experienced. I hope you find the courage to share what happened and help prevent this from happening to anyone else. You are strong, you have the power now, this does not define you, but this does define HIM and people need to know who he really is.

i’ve gone through the exact thing as a kid and i still haven’t spoken to anyone about it. the person was also family related and i no longer see them thankfully.i’m in the same position as you, even if i tell my parents now, why would they believe me? i’ve got no proof. and i think it may be too late for me to tell the cops too.ah i also dont know what to do😔you ain’t alone👋

If you think you can do it, do it for his daughters. Save them from him like you weren’t able to save yourself. Stay strong! You’ve got this! I am so sorry you were punished for what he did to you. In all honestly, that would be making this very emotionally confusing for me as well. *Hugs*

Feel free to PM me. Here's some info in my story. I was sexually abused by my cousin when I was around 8 years old, kept secret until my nana passed away and I found out my uncle sexually abused my mum and 2 aunties (my cousins dad) kept along ourselves until I was seeing occupational health and they asked why I was on anti depressants and was forced to talk about it. Fast forward a year I've had countless counselling sessions, spoken to trauma doctors who contacted the police, statements are all in and now awaiting court date for my mum and aunties, mine was dropped because of lack of evidence. I completely understand how you feel and happy to talk about it with you x

You poor girl I'm so so sorry you went through this. I do encourage you to tell the police. What if this sick man is doing that to other girls. He needs to be in prison. I know it's hard to tall about but theyll believe you. That man needs to be stopped. Good luck
