Hi, I am also a victim of sexual molestation. It started in 2013, we had accommodation issues so I had to go stay with my aunt. Her husband’s nephew was also staying with them. He’s 3 months older than me, I was 16 then. 2 weeks after I started staying with them the supposed nephew started getting close to me, I assumed since we were now family, there was nothing wrong with it.
Then one night, I was asleep in my room, and I just felt someone touch me and it was him. He was begging me to kiss him, I was so confused, I couldn’t shout but I sent him out. Then it became a constant thing – he started kissing me by force, he’d blow me, and if I bite him, he’d bite back. I started having scars but I couldn’t say how I got it. I couldn’t report because his uncle owns the house and I didn’t want to be tagged as the girl that was sexually molested.
There were times that I kept a knife in my room but he’s stronger and would always collect it. There was a day I bit him on his penis, he bit me on my breast, my hand, and my neck, I was in so much pain but I wouldn’t show it, I’d just cry when I’m alone in my room. But every night he came, he never left without scars, my finger’s marks were always everywhere on his neck where my aunt could see it, he’d just beat around the bush whenever my aunt asked how he got it.
Fast forward to 2016, we got admission into the same school and we had to stay together again, I tried giving them flimsy reasons why we couldn’t stay together but it didn’t count. I had to start sleeping in a neighbor’s room, on and off like that, for a year. When we resumed a new session, I made sure we didn’t stay together again, now I’m free from him but it hurts a lot when I remember and see him. He never had sex with me, he only tried anal because I’m a virgin.
