Most everyone is uncomfortable with confrontation. Criminals thrive on that. Dont let this person intimidate you, thus violating you again. Stand tall, knowing that there are others who can and will protect you, and tell the truth.
I had a student who was molested once. The student was afraid to go to the authorities, for fear of the person and of others finding out. I asked this student what they would do if the victim was their younger sibling. I also helped them understand that if unpunished, the violater might very well do the same to many others. The student did the right thing, and told a counselor, then the police. The violator was eventually arrested and went to trial. It was very hard for the student to talk about it, but they did. The violator was convicted.

Not sure, since I've never had this happen. I think it would depend on what they did, and how serious it was before I would confront them. That's usually not done in court, since the communications are between the attorneys and the witnesses, with the judge as mediator. I guess I would feel slightly uncomfortable having to face someone in court who had done something wrong to me.

I would face them and say everything they did wrong to me because i would want them to know what they did was wrong, and they can't scare me. And i want them to go to jail for their wrongs

Actually, I did .. my ex-hubby had dragged in one of his friends, who was a maid of honor in my wedding to support my ex-hubby's denial of alcohol problems and supported his lies by telling the judge that he was a good guy and wasn't any problem to her...She knows very well that he has an alcohol problem.. She has dated him before and they fought all the time, their dating lasted 4 months. He had at one time was at her house, he was drunk and went to use the bathroom, but went into a different room and peed on her ferrets..she was so mad at him.. Now after the shock I had to go through with her supporting his wrong-doings, in court, I simply went home, tore up all the pictures of her, her husband, and their daughter and wrote a very angry nasty letter and stuffed the ripped up pictures with it and mailed it off to her.. nearly a year later, he divorced me. If I saw this woman again, I'd simply turn around and leave the scene without a word.

I would face them and testify to the absolute truth. The punishment is in the hands of the judge or jury. I would want fair justice for me and the wrong doer.

If it was the truth I would have no problem saying what happened....unless it was my husband or something and I didn't want the person to go to jail...then I might make it a little less "bad" sounding.

I'd feel uncomfortable but I would absolutely say something to them too! I'm outspoken and would say something.........even though they had to face the music in court.

Assuming it's the truth, I'd do it. Why not? If they've done bad things that actually warrent being taken to court over (civil or criminal?), they've got it coming.

I'd tell them I'm sorry it's come to this, and I hope that you didn't do it, but that if you did, you deserve to be punished by the law.

I'd feel uncomfortable, but do it all the same.
