I have an understanding of why AA alleged rape victim backed off from pressing the charges. I’ve never pressed charges on either of my rapists. I know one of their victims before me who didn’t either. I hold zero ill will towards her. She wanted to tell me, but had been threatened. We were terrified. We know we’d have been skewered alive, not to mention constantly being in fear for our lives. If you’ve ever lived your life in sheer fear for any length of time, you understand. I moved quickly, but I still have some fear: 23yrs later. I’ve had to find a way to forgive myself for not coming forward, as I found out later that there was at least 1 victim after me. I never judge any woman or man who doesn’t come forward. It’s been hard to see AA victim be blamed for not pressing the charges. And, now, AA wife for not going to LE. (NOT here on WS.) I understand it’s easy for people to “if only” the situations, but that’s not fair to the victims. I’ve tried to stay off social media for that reason.
