I was recently placed on hold for 4 hours! The initial recorded message said the wait time may be 120 minutes, which was not unreasonable, but after the first 2 hours I was unwilling to hang up and start all over again another day.

I dropped out of school after that. The trauma of how I was treated by the police, who I thought would help me, along with my own family's screwed up behavior regarding this, the hospital who turned me away, the horrible nuns at the Catholic hospital, all have been worse than the physical assault.

terribly and even though they caught the perpetrator, I was made to feel like the criminal. At the arraignment, I had to sit directly across from the rapist (he was behind a cage) and answer questions. I think my mom told me the DA didn't think there was enough to prosecute. I was relieved.

I was overweight and had a lot of shame about it, the detective in the room with me laughed and said his high school son who played football didn't even weigh that much. I answered every question truthfully but was later told I failed the lie detector test. Every step of the way I was treated

I knew NOTHING about sex & didn't have the language to describe the details of the assault so I didn't reveal the sodomy. Later I had to take a lie detector test. The first few questions were control questions, my age (15), address and my weight. When I answered truthfully about my weight

Pagan, I think the year was 1973. I was kidnapped by a man who I later learned was on parole for rape. I was raped and sodomized. The hospital where my Dad took me turned me away & I had to go to a Catholic hospital where I was treated badly.

Pagan, I'm not all that technically savvy. Is there a way I can tell you about it that would be private?

Pagan, I'd like to (privately) share my horrific experience in the 1970's after being raped (I had just turned 15).
