I'm sorry you are still feeling effects of your assault.

Note: I notice that a trigger icon was added. I'm a newbie here; I hadn't realized that the topic would be triggering, or that there was even a trigger icon. Thanks to Turquoisesea for catching that.

That (delayed onset) sounds about right. I did feel the reaction somewhat at first, when the then-boyfriend (and others) blamed me for what happened (the boyfriend, who had wanted me to sleep with him, soon dumped me).
The sensitivities were there for a while and went away. But now they're back.
