When my attempted rape when I was in the fifth grade was reported by the witness who caused the rapist to run away, it became the biggest event in that small town in years. He was never caught, but I spent the next five years, until I moved from that town being referred to as “you know the one who got raped.” And, since the situation was sleazy, that transferred to me. So a 12 year old girl was still considered dirty, used goods at the age of seventeen. And, you wonder why I didn’t report the actual rape that I experienced at the age of 28?
