(Name changing regular because I'm going to disclose something very personal.)
I was sexually abused for many years as a child by a 'beloved' family member. I've had lots of therapy and have often discussed reporting it but ultimately, felt I couldn't go through with it. Seeing how people respond to the highly publicised cases just confirms that I will never do it.
I've seen/heard vile comments such as;
"It seems unlikely that anyone could get raped more than once."
"The so-called victims should be sued."
"I wonder if Jimmy Saville would have been found innocent if he was alive."
And these weren't even the ones from the DM site!

***TRIGGER WARNING*** To not understand why people start victim blaming when a high profile defendant is found not guilty?
