I came back from holiday to this - my rapist has only been in prison for just over two years, and I’m already having to start thinking about parole proceedings. I’ve only just began the process of rebuilding my life and he could be out come Christmas… where is the justice? 
We continually hear talk in this country about a “compassionate” and “progressive” justice system… but compassionate and progressive towards whom? It’s most definitely not the victims.
He was sentenced to 5 years for multiple counts of rape and for attempting to defeat the ends of justice (by destroying evidence and threatening others so they’d destroy evidence). His sentence should mean 5 years.
I’ve been quiet on here for a little while because honestly the toll this is taking on my mental health combined with the constant general abuse and nastiness I receive on this platform is incredibly hard to bear.
I always try to be positive and empowering, but it would be disingenuous to also not talk about the struggles. And right now, it’s really, really hard.
