I have a question, hoping not to sound rude or offensive. How do children of such a young age, get into situations where they can be violated in such a way? I've heard it's usually a family member or trusted person that commits the act.
If you don't want to answer, I can understand why.
That is not a rude question and exactly part of why I post this thing. A lot of the reason adult females do not come forward on these things is the "You asked for it" culture society attachs to rape (See the movie The Accused and you may understand). This is why it is so much harder for victims to talk about this openly, even double so for men.
This wasn't a quick thing with my stepbrother. I loved him a lot, I looked up to him and wanted to be like him so now he has my ultimate trust and there is nothing I would not do. Unfortunately for him, I was knowledgable at an early age as my mother was a childhood rape victim and she talked to us about what is and isn't accepted touching. He and I were alone in our hotel suite (we were in New Orleans on vacation and the parents had gone out. I had just gotten in a bath and he asked if he could get in with me. I can't remember if I thought it was odd or not, but he did. When the bath was through, he wanted to dry me off and I recall telling him no. He then grabbed my arms and held me down as he proceeded to penetrate me. I blanked a lot of the actual act out, but I recall my parents comgin home and pulling me out from under the bed. I also remember not telling for years because he said "I'd get in trouble for disobeying. Fortunately, his mother and my father divorced and at ten, I told all.
In a great deal of juvenile rape situations, it is due to a trust thing and society in my youth that "adults know best and you should listen to them." As a whole, we are starting to change that with the Catholic priests scandal and the new laws on sexual predators.
I hope this answers your question.
