I similarly had an experience where I wasn’t fully able to recognize an experience as sexual assault until years later - long after the statue of limitations had passed. I hope laws for domestic violence change, because it can take victims time to be able to find the courage and heal enough to come forward with what happened. I will say though that I do believe in karma. Although the perpetrator in my case didn’t face criminal charges, I have been vocal about what he did to me, and others he knew stepped up to express their sympathies to me. This has also served to starkly remind me how important it is to guard one’s energy and be mindful of someone’s true intentions and energetics.
