I often dream of outing the paedophile who abused me.

Do others feel like this?

Sexually abused as a child by a relative. He abused another child too. Went to court, found guilty, put on register for a decade. Didn't lose his job. Moved back home with his wife and kid (the other child who was being abused by him no less). No one found out due to age of youngest victim it wasn't reported in the news.

Time has moved along, it's been about twenty years. His colleagues were told back then by another family member and none of them believed it. 🤬 None of his neighbours know. Nothing. He's old enough to have grandkids. There's a playground at the end of his street.

I feel like he just got a slap on the wrist and carried on his life.

I often think about "outing" him. I want him to feel scared and ashamed and I want people to be aware of him. I think I'd get in trouble though wouldn't I.

Hi. I've often thought this too. My abuser was my ex step dad. The last time I saw him was at my half brothers funeral. My mum invited him and all his family and it was so so hard for me to be around them all not knowing what he did. I held my tongue while my brother was alive as it was his father and then carried on holding my tongue as my mother is a narcissist and has quite a say in our family. I'm not sure what the answer is as if you go down that route and they don't believe you then you would feel cheated all over again? Once I heard my abuser had broken his leg late one night alone in some remote street and no one found him for ages. I felt delighted and hoped he suffered. I'm nearly 50 now and have reached a stage in my life that I have settled the fact those closest to me know and they love me and support me and if I opened the can now the worms would be all over the place and I wouldn't be as peaceful as I am now. I'm so sorry this doesn't help you much. You were amazing to stand up for yourself. I think people close to him know. Or at least have an idea. Sending you lots and lots of love xxx

Unfortunately the law tends to protect the anonymity of such horrible bastards and any vigilante reprisals against them. We do have Sarah's Law and www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=offenders.org.uk/&ved=2ahUKEwivvL6TuJ_8AhWhQUEAHR9uB5gQFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3fYV3hm4flmsSFUyjmPd6c which can atleast help communities that have paedophiles living amongst them.
I can't imagine how awful this is for you. I was fostered quite a few times during the 70's and early 80's and at times suffered mental abuse but nothing sexual. Unfortunately the fucker who done this to you still gets to walk around whilst you have to live with the daily torment of it. Have you had counselling, and you still living in the same area?
