Update: Sexual Assault ...

Update: Sexual Assault ...

I'm still freaked by being sexually assaulted last week by a gas station attendant in broad daylite. Having been down this road several times, and the endings so much worse, my guardian angel was close, watching over me. I know he's done it before, and I know he's going do it again. Passing by there at least twice a day and seeing him makes my skin crawl ...

I went the police station report what happened. With the COVID going on, they set up a little room rite inside the entrance with a table with papers for different things. And, they are using the intercom as much as possible so they don't have open the main doors. So, I buzzed and told the guy that I wanted to report a sexual assault. From his response, "can you please repeat that??", it seemed as tho they don't get many complaints of this nature. So, I repeated "I'd like to report a sexual assault, please" ... "I'm sending someone down rite away". So, while I was waiting, it all started flooding thru my head. The way his hands were a fraction of a millimeter away from my body. The way he came at me and put his face in my boobs. By the time they came to take my statement, seemed like hours passed, tho, it was only like minutes or so ...

Both a male and female officer came speak with me in the little room. After explaining verbally, I filled out the official report form. Just as I knew would happen, as I worked for the police for years, "unfortunately, this doesn't meet the 'standards' for an arrest" ... that good threshold, even if there was CCTV. Regardless, I wanted it on record, so, if and when someone else comes forward, it will show a pattern. They did ask me for a description, stating that they would at least try identify him. I'll never forget this face - EVER ...

They also told me that had I punched him, that DOES meet the criteria for arrest - I'd be the one in prison orange, which I also knew. And, I'm in the process of writing a letter to the corporate office, anonymously, as I do not want them to have my information, nor am I going to mention that I filed a police report ...

By coming forward, there's more than a chance that I just saved another woman's life. There is no way I would be able to live with myself if I was the cause of another being harmed. My soul feels at ease now - letting it go ...

How in the hell does that not qualify as sexual assault? That is total bullshit!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that Trixie. Try to stay strong!

Wow... What a mess.
You're so aware of the law and how it applies. I'd be (I am), lost when it comes to stuff like that.
Hopefully this helps in the long run with that person. 👍❗

I had no idea it was this serious McT, sorry! You definitely did the right thing. I hope the guy gets removed from your regular commute route soon.

Take care! Hope you're well otherwise!

Proud of you Trix. Nice going girl....i can only imagine the strength and courage it took to do all of that. The emotional stamina. Kudos !!! Yes...Im glad they will keep it on file...because we both know....these patterns of behavior do not change. Maybe corporate needs to know that an official complaint has been filed....just so they know this anonymous letter has some weight behind it. I dunno ( sigh ). ~~

Well my friend I am so glad you went to make a police report, and I hope they do something about that man. I have to say I was shocked when you said you would be the one in orange for punching him to protect yourself. To me that is just crazy. But it just goes to show what is really happening these days in the world of policing.

I hope you contact corporate soon and let them know about this man as you are so right you just saved another lady from going through this. I hope your Monday treats you well my friend.. *Huggles*

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

What happened just doesn't meet the "book -em Dano" (Hawaii Five O reference) level. Very much appreciate your thoughts - thank you. Hope you are keeping safe!

A fucking shit storm awaiting overflow ... it's not IF he does it again, it's WHEN and to WHAT degree. Worked for the police for years - nothing much has changed. Chances are, the woman before me didn't report it ... and ... the one before that didn't either. Rinse and repeat - rinse and repeat. Doing my part to stop the cycle! Kind of you to stop by and offer words of encouragement ...

It took a few days to really sink in . Shock is so common as a first reaction, as well as questioning yourself, as to what you said or did to cause it. You sound like my cousin, she wanted to go there and confront him ... took me quite awhile to convince her not to! Just want to put this incident behind me as best that I can - gots me a grand life to live!!

In hindsite, I should have went and filed a report sooner. Tho, it took some time to process what actually happened. My emotions were all over the place! Well, we will see what happens from here. Clearing the cobwebs and jetting on down the road! Thank you, my kilted friend, your thoughts are much appreciated ... *hugs*

Thank you - it's very difficult to report a sexual assault incident. It's like being violated over and over again each time you speak of it ... one of the reasons a lot of women don't come forward. Good point with regard the letter. Perhaps telling them this would put a fire under their ass, I don't live or work far from there, and, concerned bout them having my addy and stuff, so, I can still keep that private. Always appreciate your visits, uplifting words ... *huge hugs*

Felt so much relief after making a report! And, moved my bed to the opposite wall, so that I could have a view of my hallway over the weekend. These things make one take pause in a lot of ways, including their environment. I truly appreciate your thoughts - thank you ever so kindly ...

Well, hopefully, at the very least, the police will speak with him. Sadly, a lot of these situations are "he said/she said" kind of thingy. Even with CCTV, there are blind spots. And, the back end of the incident took place out at the air machine, which, most likely wasn't in view of the camera, if there was one. There is such a fine line when it comes to self protection! Got the info - working on the letter! As always, I can't thank you enuf for the support! *hugs*

Even the fact that you came forward and reported it - CCTV and all - should be enough for the next time this creep plays that game again : I assure you, it has been recorded

As for the rest, sorry to hear that, but it's starnard working procedure nowadays, for the accused to have the benefit of the doubt

Cheers my lady - you did well

We all know there WILL BE a next time - just a matter of when. I know the routine, having worked in the system for 12 years. Even if he was arrested, a few hours in jail, perhaps the nite, awaiting arraignment. Then, MAYBE minimal bail, and that's a HUGE maybe. And, back out on the streets to continue to do it again!! So fucked up perpetrators have all the rites - this is WHY people take matters into their own hands! Thank you!!!
