Trigger warning: SA
Hi beautiful people. I am just sharing this to vent in a safe space and maybe get some support. I was assaulted last summer, reported it, went through the investigation, and here we are. He was charged with 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct and is facing 3-5 years in prison if convicted. It’s going to trial next month and I will have to testify. I found out today as I gave up any hope that he would plead guilty or accept any plea deal to avoid a trial. I feel so numb and also so afraid and defeated. Any of you had to go through this and have any words of advice? I know the prosecutor will prepare me, but I welcome different perspectives. I am also open to offering some words of support to anyone who may be going through something similar. Thank you for reading. <3

I haven’t gone through something like that but just know you’re so strong and brave for what you’re doing. You’re keeping someone from hurting other people. You can do this, it will suck and you’ll probably feel like you can’t at some point but you’re a strong women and you absolutely can do anything.
Hang in there, you have come this far. You were so strong to report it. Wish I was closer to have your back but know I am thinking of you.
