TW: rape
My job is to tell other people's stories, often of the most difficult (and defining) times of their lives. This is the hardest story I've ever told: of the time I was raped, but they threatened to charge ME with a crime.

I was 22. Still a kid. Terrified and traumatized, I went to the police while contending with ongoing threats from the man who raped me. I needed help. I hoped for justice. I wanted to stop him from hurting anyone else. Instead, I was made the villain.
