If children knew what adults do, wouldn't that be rape? Just because a child doesn't verbally say no, does that mean they weren't raped?

I was sexually abused, aged seven. But by sexually abused I really mean I was forced into having sex, too afraid to say no. Groomed to think it was something wrong I was doing and that I was the one in the wrong. But it's not rape because I never said no?

I screamed no many times in my head. I pleaded inside my head, wanted the pain to stop inside my head. But I wasn't raped? I was a victim of pedophilia instead.

I was a child who was taught adults are always right.

When the court case came about, it was never a question of rape... Never.

Twenty year later had he done that to me as an adult, he'd be a rapist...

Pedophile's are rapists in some instances. I wish people could understand that.
