*Trigger Warning* Justice might be brought

[limichelle]

So I’m sure you who have followed my traumatic tale since this past summer. Know I reported the rape to the police as soon after it happened. 
 

Today 7 months later. I got a call from the detective. My rape kit has been processed and he’s waiting on the report. 
 

Because it’s Date Rape it’s harder to get evidence. It’s a He said she said case. 
 

Well they now believe they may have circumstantial evidence. With a major component. I can’t go into specific detail because this is ongoing. 
 

So he’s now sending it to the prosecutor. 
it’s one more step in Justice being served. 
 

I feel now numb when I think of what happened that night. I used to cry and feel such pain and anxiety. I’m scarred for life. 
 

Let’s just say I did everything I could to stay alive. 
 

I don’t know where this leads. But I feel I’m finally being heard. That the detective sees my side more clearly now. 
 

I pray for this to resolve fast. 
 

I thought I will update you that the case isn’t closed. Justice may be served after all and my trauma is now having light shed on it.

Sending you positive vibes, limi. You've stayed strong thru it all and this is good news you definitely needed to keep fighting for justice. 

I found what happened to you just infuriating and I'm happy to hear the detective didn't quit on you.

Whatever happens, it's good that you at least reported it. If justice isn't served in this case, you will be helping the next woman. It usually takes piles of police reports before a rapist is convicted. And police reports are slow to accumulate because only about 15% of rape victims go to the police. So, you have done a good thing either way by helping the next woman (and the next, etc.).
