Nc'd for this as it's a very sensitive issue and I don't want it linking to my other posts.
I've been torn up inside for years about whether or not to report someone who groomed me as a teenager and did things they shouldn't have done (including taking photos). I worry that they may be doing this now to young people and I imagine it's a lot easier to do nowadays with so many kids using the internet all the time.
I feel like it's the right thing to report him, but it's bringing a lot of memories back and I feel quite overwhelmed.
It would make me feel a lot better if I knew what to expect to happen if I make a report. I also live in a different part of the country now (I'm not sure if he does too) so I don't know which police or department I should contact.
I fully appreciate that it's incredibly unlikely that any conviction would come about as a result of my reporting what happened to me, but it could make a difference if some concerned parents or a young person make a report about something that's going on now and the police already have information about him.
If anyone knows anything about this kind of thing, I would be so so grateful for some advice about where to report it and what to expect once I have done.
