Wow!!! What a gift, and I thought the statute of limitations had run out.
It can never run out. Not that I want to back off, but...he can still be brought to trial for all the times he raped me.
My question is this. Do I have to prove what he did to me? There were no "witnesses" that stood by and watched.
