I am curious about how other individuals with sexual abuse in their past first spoke about what they went through.

For myself, I'm not sure that I would have ever told anyone but that choice was taken away when it was exposed. My abuse was revealed by one of the other victims sharing what had happened to them, stating that it had also happened to me. At that point I got swept along in the flurry that followed.

Please excuse the length of the poll, but I wanted to try to give people a way to answer without them having to reply in case they wanted to remain anonymous.

• Section 1 is for people who have spoken about it. Please check only the first person you told about it.
• Section 2 is for people who haven't told anyone. Please check any of the reasons that would apply.
• Section 3 is for whether or not you laid charges, or want to lay charges.
