It is worth addressing because responses like yours are victim blaming.

Bubbles hasn't been back to this thread. I made my comments to give her an idea of pursuing a rape conviction from this incident. I don't want to get in to all that went into my thinking. I don't appreciate being called out here and judged. It's not helpful to anyone.
I had a date rape at 16 that took my virginity. I did not ever speak about it again to anyone. I feel doing that would have made everything worse. My experience was a little similar to Bubble's experience, in that it was an ambiguous he-said/she-said. Had it been different, you bet I'd have prosecuted.
To each his own. Best wishes to all victims.
