Rape is horrible. It almost happened to me when I was 13 and if I wasn't a smarter kid back then it would have gone that far, probably. Someone my family knows, came to my house to get the kids my mum was babysitting and she went into the shower after they got out.
But the man came back in started talking to me and pushed me against the wall, grabbed my hips and forcefully kissed my neck and face. I couldn't yell because I was paralysed and then he offered me to, another day, go "shopping" with him and not tell my mum... I didn't tell her about the kissing part but I told her about the "shopping" and she called that man and just told him not to get near me.
Months after, I told her. She called the police and they made an order for that man not to get anywhere near me. I could have gone to trial but I was afraid to confront the man. I wish I could have been braver back then but I just didn't want to see him ever again and let my wound heal.
Rape should be punished very severely and not taken lightly... Though I know some people use it to get attention or w/e they want and this is truly sad. I really hope any real victim find the courage to tell someone about it. Also, the longer you wait, the worse your mind becomes... I missed a lot of school days because I was afraid to go out. What happened to me was traumatising, but it must be horrible for them.
