[Update] I (19m) just figured out my coworker raped my (18f) girlfriend and I don’t know how to handle this 😔
Finding out that someone you know has committed such a horrific act can be incredibly difficult to process. It’s important to take care of yourself and those affected by the situation. Here are some steps you can take to handle this situation:
## Stay Calm and Seek Support
– It’s completely normal to feel a range of emotions, including anger and betrayal. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor for support.
– Remember that seeking help does not make you weak. It shows that you are prioritizing your mental health.
– Consider joining a support group for survivors of sexual assault. Connecting with others who have been through similar experiences can be comforting.
## Communicate with Your Employer
– If the perpetrator is a coworker, it’s important to inform your employer about the situation.
– Approach the conversation with professionalism and provide any evidence or details that can support your claims.
– Your employer has a responsibility to ensure a safe work environment for all employees. They may take disciplinary action against the perpetrator.
## Seek Legal Advice
– Consider contacting a lawyer who specializes in sexual assault cases. They can provide guidance on your legal options and rights.
– Document any interactions or evidence related to the assault. This information may be useful if you decide to pursue legal action.
– Understand that the legal process can be lengthy and emotionally taxing. Take care of yourself throughout the process.
## Focus on Healing
– Encourage your girlfriend to seek therapy or counseling to process her trauma. Healing from sexual assault takes time and support.
– Practice self-care activities such as meditation, exercise, and journaling to manage your own emotions.
– Remember that seeking justice is important, but your well-being and healing should be the top priority.
## Advice from the Bhagavad Gita
In times of adversity, it can be helpful to turn to spiritual teachings for guidance. The Bhagavad Gita emphasizes the importance of upholding righteousness and seeking justice. Remember that your actions should align with your values and morals, even in challenging situations. Trust that the universe will bring justice to those who commit wrongdoings.
It’s essential to address the trauma caused by workplace sexual assault with care and compassion. Remember that you are not alone, and there are resources available to support you and your girlfriend through this difficult time. Stay strong and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being as you navigate this situation.
Why didn’t anyone call the police and report the crime??
I would skull drag my son with extreme prejudice if he ever admitted to being a rapist. I would have no son after that conversation.
As cute as it would have been, you spending the rest of your life in prison, and this whole firing and all, where are the police?? Where are the people arresting him and HIM spending 30 years in a cell?
Don’t ruin your life, your 19. Don’t kill the mothafucka but u should quit your job. Take your girl and get as far away from that place as you can
Good for his parents, stand up people after all.
The fact he admitted it openly can get you to arrest him EASILY. now you have an evidence prior to him saying yeah I did. You should file a complaint and get the justice for your girl. I’m proud of you for standing up for her.
BRAVO!!! A man with his mind and heart in the right place. Thank you -from America’s women.
I am glad to hear that you did not do it and you still have a job. He should lose more than just his job and getting kicked out of the house. He should go to jail. I hope she is doing better
The police. That’s how you handle it.
Killing isnt the key to this anyway, no need to ruin your life for a person like that, you’re better. If there is enough evidence, sue him, he will suffer forever
Great story about his family’s feelings, but when was police called and are charges being filed
Glad that your boss understood and even kicked that waste of breath and space out. Dude definitely needs to be charged.
It doesn’t matter if they are changed now because the fact is they still did it. And never faced repurcussions for it. Never did his time. And your girlfriend will be fighting trauma for the remainder of her life.
My hopes go to you and GF that you will be able to get past this and live your best lives and never have to think about that prick.
Holy shit, he confessed?! I really thought it would be a your-word-against-his scenario!
Wait! You were not even dating the girl back then? Like others said, you should look into talking to a counselor. Wanting to kill someone is very very very…
Your first instinct was perfect. I know it’s wrong but that man would never hurt another woman.
Yeah, don’t murder him – that won’t make things better.
Did she make a police report?
It makes me so sad and angry seeing all of the comments who just DON’T understand and keep asking why the police weren’t called. They just don’t get it and it sucks.
I really really wish it was that simple of a thing to call the police and put a rapist in jail, but in reality it tends to be humiliating and the woman isn’t believed.
You already have to fight feeling it was your fault and then you get put on a stand and told it’s your fault and you were playing him and well you said yes to seeing him that say; this is the text y’all sent, didn’t you know what that would lead to?
God, no one seems to get it unless you get it
And most people can’t stand to be in the same room with the person and it’s awful MUCH LESS on trial and in an actual court room. It’s awful
And at the end of the day? The guy can still walk free because it’s freaking hard to prove. Or he gets 6 months and is angry with, guess who, you, when he gets out
Is your girlfriend ok?
Go to the police.. let him rot in jail..
