As a multiple sexual assault victim, myself.
I'm kind of glad I never came forth to report of my assaults, or even mention them to those I even trust, or should trust.
I have heard too many stories of how victims have been shamed, or have made to feel/think we have deserved it some way (the way we were dressed, acted, mixed signals, etc).
It's truly sad.
More needs to be done.
It's deplorable of what are justice system is. Even more deplorable of our "serve and protect" people are.
My faith in humanity and society is pretty nonexistent, nor will I ever turn to those who I'm expected to trust (LE's) to expect to protect me. I think I will rely on myself to do that from now on.
