    Get the scumbag arrested for it! Have you got someone to talk to? A close friend or family member? I had no one to talk to before and went to my parish priest about it(even though Im athiest..) he was an unbelievable help.

    Just talk to someone first about it, get it off your chest until you feel you are ready to confront the issue and give the f***er what he deserves.

    Well I don't really have anybody to talk to! People in our local community sees
    him as a brillant guy! He's only in his late 20's and he is always going to mass and doing charity work etc! I don't think anybody would believe me!

    People would believe you, you'd need to be fairly sick individual to make it up. You really should find someone to tale to, even just a friend if you dont want to get bogged down in the legal side of it just yet. But no way should anyone be allowed to get away with something like that. I f he did it to you, theres a chance he did it to countless others.

    I really think you should talk to someone. Having something like that weighing you down every day of your life is gonna take a serious tole, While drink may stop you thinking about it for a while, its still gonna be there when you sober up so its not a good road to go down.

    I am so sorry to hear about what you went through when you were younger, and also what you are going through now. You should tell your parents about what happened, and they will listen. I would also suggest going to get some councelling. When a person has or is going through a tough time, councelling really does help, and will make you feel better. I wouldn't let anyone get away with that, its terrible what happened. If I were you I would also look into speaking to a solicitor about the whole thing. The councelling will help you feel better about the whole thing, but getting justice for what happened to you will help you get on with your life, should you decide to take legal action
    Good luck to you :)
