Aftermath of sexual assault / wanting ppl to know?

Are you kidding me? It says "aftermath." Because this situation comes with a lot of fucked up aftermath. I dont have to go into detail about getting sexually assaulted, I mentioned it because that's the basis of all this.

The reason I dont want ppl to know is because telling people comes with a lot of JUDGEMENT (because they werent there) and RELIVING IT. These are two big reasons victims dont come forward in general. No one has to tell the world they were sexually assaulted, I'm talking about needing to confide in one person. The reasons I have behind who I want to tell and why has to be careful because the only people who know have done really shitty things (eg. made jokes about it, told someone, or not fully understood because guys are taught differently to girls)

It literally says in that post I am going to the police.

Why the fuck did I go to reddit. Wow.
