82. My daughter went to the hospital

Did a ra*p kit and they still did not prosecute. You have no idea how traumatizing that process is.
She was told it was his word against hers. He stated it was consensual.
They wanted her to call her attacker and get him to admit on tape what he did.

This happened 24 years ago and things have not changed much.
