I found out my r@pist (ex-roommate) was accused of assaulting 3 other people, including my best friend.

I’m in complete shock. I (21F) was assaulted by my ex-roommate back in December 2023. I know, male roommate was a horrible idea. Trust me, I’ve learned my lesson and am in a much safer place now.

Today I found out that he also assaulted 3 other people. One of them was my best friend (20M) while he was temporarily staying with us for about a week a couple years ago. He’s also been accused by his ex-girlfriend and another man.

I definitely believe it but I fear it’s much too late at this point to go to the police, so I’m more just trying to find ways to support my friend.

Please be kind, this is a really difficult situation for me to process.

    This is crazy and I’m sorry to hear that. Are you wondering whether or not you should turn this guy in?

    Report him. Even if it’s, “too late” at least it establishes that he’s been accused of this, and perhaps cops will be more likely to believe the next accuser. Also, having a male room mate is not a horrible idea. Most of us are not rapists. You couldn’t have expected it, and I’m sorry it happened to you.

    Yeah, having a male roommate is kinda asking for it ngl.
