Should i go to the police or let it be? rather serious question?

Question

When I was 15, a 35 year old man posing as a 24 ( not any better but at 15 i thought i was cool because an older guy liked me) took my virginity. He bought me alot of gifts and started telling me if i stopped talking to him he would kill himself. I went to my mom but never told her everything he did to me because i thought i would be in trouble. He somehow got my friends emails and sent letters to all of them saying i was a whore and had AIDS (both of course not true). The police came out and questioned me but still scared i lied and told them he never touched me. I am 23 now and i came across his name in the sex offenders list about 3 months ago. There was alot of things listed under his name but nothing about sex crimes with minors. Its been eating at me and i am afraid if he did this to me who else has he hurt. I finally told my mother last night and she went to the police this morning. I thought after 8 years nothing could be done but the police are telling my mother different.

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY GO TO THE POLICE!

I have spent the last 11 years as a police officer, the last four as a detective. I have worked alot of these kinds of cases and many have resulted in arrests and prosecution. Sex offenders never get better and for every victim this guy gets caught molesting, there are probably 10 - or 100 - like you who are victims that don't come forward. The guy is a scumbag and needs to be in jail. As long as he is out, he will be doing to other girls what he did to you. You have the power to stop that. Flex your power and call the cops.

Good Luck!
