I have scars. I'm sorry he wasn't caught. I hope you got some victim compensation or some kind of help.

I was young. It was a federal case. We 'won', but it is a hollow victory. No punishment is really comparable to a life time of feeling stained. But you get over it or not. Most days I don't think about it any more. Unless something like this makes me look.

That's it too. I take full responsibility it is not the OPs fault. There are times when it isn't our fault. And I know when those times are. Then there are times when people are responsible for their own behavior. I try not to blame other people for my current behavior.

I didn't need to rub my nose in this.
