Help please.

I am really scared i was raped four years ago and last year, the police were called about the one that happened last year and then they found out about the one four years ago from my therapists notes. They hassled me for a long time for the name and today i eventually broke i am so scared i can't prove it, i am scared he will deny it, i can't prove it what if they don't believe me, i got a lot of hassle from the police over the rape last year because they said the two were possibly connected and i wouldn't give his name. What can i do? Does anyone know can i drop the case now?

I see what you mean but he won't come near me again i know he won't, mentally i can't deal with it just now. I know its hard for people to understand, and well i never got any sympathy about it just made to feel bad by the police espically, they made it alot worse.

What you don't seem to understand is that now you are a sitting duck for his further abuse. And next time around you won't get much sympathy because you had the opportunity to protect yourself and didn't.

Thanks everyone but i am meeting with my solicitor today to see if i can drop the case i am too anxious to deal with it, i am so afraid they won't believe me and i couldn't cope with that. I know its probably the right thing to do and he deserves to be punished but i am just too scared to deal with it.
Maybe your right and they won't be able to press charges which makes it worse because i see him about alot, thats what scares me the most, the police can't protect me from him and my partner doesn't know what happened so he can't help me either i am trying to keep it from him. Thanks again everyone

Try and hang in there.  I know how scary it is.  The police may or may not be able to press charges, but you can feel good about yourself because you had the courage to speak the truth!

Do not drop the case, that is the worst thing you can do. Tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. The named person raped you and in all probability has done the same with someone else. You have truth on your side, that is all you need. Hang In.
