Report it to the cops, they'll get them to the hospital, the testing they hafta do is worse yet (but necessary) get counselling and testify against the b@stard who did it.

Yeah right call the police. People getting raped and killed, and they're investigating someone who owes you money. Trust me, in most places, the police only respond to violence or serious crime.\n\nMy sister once got taken to court by an old landlord, and he won the case, she has a judgement against her. To this day she hasn't paid him a dime. A judge does not have the physical ability to force someone to do something. It's a matter of that going on their record more than anything.\n\nMy advice is, if it's a lot of money, and you want to pursue it, ask a lawyer what your real options are. Maybe you can look into having his wages garnished or something. But it will involve you continuing to pester them.

That sounds very traumatic. I would've used my kids as witnesses but that's just me, in that case nothing is wrng or right it's your life.\n\nAnyways, in my opinion I would find a guy that is caring enough to understand your feelings. Because no guy can ever understand what it feels like to be raped. They either understand or they don't. And your particular rape situation is terrible. Having that seen in front of a 2 and 4 year old. That is terrible. Just be happy you survived.. and maybe if you can, try to find a more caring boyfriend.

By just being there when the victim needs you, listen and let them know it is not their fault. Do what they ask. Try to convince him/her to go to the police or at the least a doctor. Don't apply to much pressure let her/ him know that if they do nothing it will eat away at them for the rest of there life.

Suggest to her that she speak to a counselor or other professional that can provide more guidance than can be offered by a message board.  \n\nThe following link contains a link to a page with a national confidential rape survivors help line and a form to find out the number to a local center.  \n\nI wish your friend the best of luck and I hope you can help guide her to a place where she can help herself.

If you seriously think this might happen - you need to contact the local authorities.  They won't take this situation lightly.\n\nIf she's possibly going to harm herself or others, they will investigate.\n\nWhere's her family - you should also contact them but don't wait for them to call the police.\n\nYOU need to do this NOW.

How awful, I hope the victim is ok...an attempted rape can be nearly as traumatic as a completed assault. Your BF should ask to have the offending coworker transferred to a different crew until he goes to jail.

Im not sure I understand your question. But if you are the victim of rape you need to seek help immediately. Obviously you have internet access, www.rainn.com

Different lawyer get a free consultation somewhere. Court appointed attorneys aren't the best option in a rape case. You are great for trying to help someone out. If he's been sentenced the best way to help him is to be with him. Support him.

I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you but....\n\nCall the cops, let them give you a rape kit, and  (especially if they are conviced you were raped) PRESS CHARGES.\n\nWho cares if this was a friend, or a friend of a friend! PEOPLE LIKE THIS ARE NOT FRIENDS AND NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!

I had a friend that was raped, so believe me I know what you're going through.  I know the first thing you want to do is kill this guy, but you have to stay calm and keep yourself together.  Feeling guilty that you weren't there to protect her is natural, but you can't beat yourself up about it.  It's NOT your fault, at all.  You had no idea that she was going to get raped, so please don't feel like it's your fault.  That is the worst thing you could do in this situation.  Your girlfriend is probably reluctant to report the incident because she is terrified.  Being raped is one of the most terrible things that could ever happen to a person.  She is probably still in shock from the incident.  I believe that she is scared to report it because she actually knows the person who did it.  It isn't a stranger, it is an acquaintance.  I'm sure she knows how serious it is, but she might just be scared and embarassed.  Don't force her, just be there for her and comfort her.  Her feelings are very fragile right now, and she will make the decision that she feels best, whether it is reporting the incident or not.  I know you want to help, so support her and talk with her, don't push her to do anything drastic at this time.  I hope this helped even a little bit.\n-L

the best thing to do is talk to someone you love and trust. Maybe your parents/gaurdian. Youve been through something terrible and you need some support around you and go tell someone immediately. Go to the police and have him charged. Its the best thing to do because you can prevent him from hurting someone else. Its scary but its the right thing to do

If it was rape she would most likly have some trauma to her arms or hands from trying to fight back.or maybe a broken nail. She wont talk untill she has had quite some time to let the reallity of it all pass.Good luck.

The question wasnt too clear but what ive gathered is that you like a guy and were playing a sexual game which you wanted to stop and he kept going anyway. if not disregard my answer. Obviously this game is over so if he took it the whole way and you said no you were raped. rape is not cool no matter how much you like someone and you should report it. If he did stop but touched you in ways you didnt want then you need to use your judgement as far as how violated you feel. since you started the game together you could always tell him that you felt he went too far and that you do like him but that he should respect you enough to stop when you arent comfortable anymore. if it can be resolved like that great, if not then sexual harrassment charges can be filed.
