As of now I'm in Washington state . I can never be myself . I've been offered counselling but justbso caught up with school and work. I'm 19 . And from 2012 to 2014 I was abused by ex boyfriend which layer on lied to me about his age . I was 15 and clueless . Didn't know what to do my mom was going through a divorce she didn't know how my situation was . But going further I was a minor . I'm not sure how he isn't facing jail time even after other incidents with girls. But I didn't know he was already past 18 . Yet he manipulated me . Went through my phone at the time and got access to my social media who knows what he posted.. He used to take pictures of me without my consent , tried to force sex with him. Of course I sent him nudes before .However , I didnt know what I was doing at the time ... i felt lonely scared . Confused . Would always cry . Didn't want my mom to see me with bruises . She always thought I was brave and I still am. Main thing right now is what should I do ? He won't remove those innapropriate pictures from his Google + that he took of me . I feel like hell black mail me . I know I was a minor back then but now I just don't know what to do. I feel like I have injuries . Or PTSD I have a caring boyfriend but I just get mad episodes and flashbacks.
Your story saddened me.
I hope my response will brighten your day.
First of all, it is NOT too late to report what that creature did to you.
No need to reveal any more details here, I get it.
You will need to tell those horrible things to the detectives who will see to it you get justice.
I suggest you contact local law enforcement where you are located today.
Ask them if you can report sustained sexual abuse you suffered as a child between the ages of 14 to 16.
That will start the ball rolling, I hope.
The detective you speak with will advise you what can be done where you are, hopefully contact his/her NY counterparts, or direct you to do so.
Either way it is not too late.
Please hold on a few more hours, or go tonight, RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE to the nearest police station and say, "I need help. I was sexually abused for two years starting at age 14 in NY state."
PLEASE, do me a favor.
Let me know what you decide to do, and keep me posted as the days pass.
God bless you, and there is help out there, you just have to get the ball rolling.
Don't wait, don't put it off, because if you do; it'll be too late to do anything to your sexual abuser.
Plus, you can eventually sue him civilly, and obtain a money judgment against him.
God bless.
Under New York law, victims of sexual abuse have until the age of 23 to bring either criminal charges or file a civil lawsuit against their alleged abusers.
