I was sexually assaulted when I was 15 by a family friend who was more than twice my age. At the time I was embarrassed and decided not to press charges. I also didn’t have the time to process the event because someone else had told my mom the day after it happened. She ended up asking me and I begged her not to tell but she told several different people. Anyway I tried to press charges about two years ago when I was 18. I got a whole bunch of different responses. Some people said the case was closed some people said that they don’t have any documentation that the event occurred. There was one person who said that a detective would be calling me within the next few weeks and that never happened. I kind of got discouraged and stop trying. Another two years later I found more resources at my university to hell go through with this process. The women’s advocate and I called the department and told then the same thing I’ve been telling them before. They told us the same story that there was nothing I could do or that they don’t have record of it. As soon as we called a police officer in our state they called the police department where it happened and somehow she got all of the information that I’ve been asking for for the past four years. She said that she left a message on the lieutenants desk phone to contact either me or her... It’s been 3 weeks and no response. This happened last time. I wait and wait and get no response. I feel so helpless and filled with regret that I didn’t press charges then. I was just scared. Now I may never get the closure I need... any advice?
