Using a throwaway as friends/family know my username.
As a victim earlier this year of sexual assault by a civilian, how have most of the victims you interviewed handled their chain of command knowing and what was said of their circumstance?
After my assault, I confided in my Chief about what happened and he basically laughed in my face telling me to man up. I am a male and the person who assaulted me was a woman. It was one of the scariest/surrealest moments of my life. She threatened to beat herself and report to the cops that I had done it. After telling my Chief about how she wouldn't let me leave her home and forced herself upon me, with the way he reacted, I've only told my sister and my mom a little of what happened. He brings it up every fucking day and pokes fun at me for feeling shitty about it which just makes me even feel more shitty... I've taken to drinking every day to cope with being angry, but that only does so much.
