I reported my rapist to SPD in October of 2024. Today, I met the state prosecutor assigned to my trial. I wasn’t sure if we’d ever make it to that point, but here we are. The original police report took months to get to the prosecution. I waited and waited and waited. But finally the detective on my case finished gathering information and the report, and the state of WA decided to take my case. Through out the whole process I’ve had a state provided sexual assault advocate who has been guiding me through the legal system. This has been the hardest year of my life but I will say I feel supported and taken care of by the system so far. I was expecting far less support than they have given me. I just want to share my honest experience for anyone wondering what it is like reporting their rapist.
