Her mom and her our aunt new that this was happening, the man was her moms boyfriend at the time. I didn't know any of this until last year, my cousin never said a WORD. Her mom still talks to this man like if nothing happened but there together anymore, he still comes to the house and fixes the TV or whatever there having problems with ONCE IN A WHILE. Our aunt knew something was up and then finally my cousin came clean one day and then my aunt told her mom - she just slapped him and then got back with him, he molested her a few more times and then she left him. Well my aunt has told everybody in the family about this but my cousin and her mom don't know that everybody knows. My cousin only thinks that me and my sister know, but shes wrong. I want to do something, can he still go to jail if we report him to the police - or is this too late? I am going to ask my mom to do this because my cousin told me not to do anything.
When he comes around my cousin says hi and even hugs him sometimes, and so do her little sisters - my aunt doesn't do anything!! But my cousin doesn't either!! They both just let it happen and they have NEVER talked about this problem not even when it happened. My aunt blames my cousin for not stopping him and just letting him do it. I've told my cousin mroe then 5 times to do something and to talk to her mom and she doesn't. Keep in mind that this man was ALSO molested by three woman when he was little. |

Call your state police and ask them what the law is. Usually you can report them if it happened less than 10 years ago.

it's not to late to call the police and get the guy in jail.
if your mom doesn't do anything...please get in contact with the police yourself. sadly (as you pointed out with your family) people know and don't do anything, or blame the victim. |

Ok first off don't blame your cousin. Chances are she's really young right? I think your cousin has come to see this guy as a father figure, and she interprets the molestation as a) the only way to get his love and attention b) to her it feels good. Now as for the guy that did this to her- yes he can still be arrested and charged. Here in Canada there's no time limit for pressing charges for indictable offences. He would defintly be charged with;
sexual interference: "Every person who, for a sexual purpose, touchs either directly/indirectly with a part of the body or with an object, any part of the body of a person under 14 years old. If it's tried as a summary offence he's looking at a minimum of 14 days in jail up to a maximum of 18 months. If the crown tries it as indictable then he's facing a minimum of 45 days in jail and up to a max of 10 years in prison Sexual Assault: Maximum of 10 years in prison Sexual Assault with a weapon; If he touched her or raped her while carrying a weapon, threatning to cause bodily harm to a third party, caused bodily harm to your cousin. If he used a gun during the offence he's facing a minimum of 4 years in prison up to a max of 14 years in prison. Aggravated Sexual Assault: If he injured her during the rape to the point she was seriously injured he could be facing up to life in prison Forcible Confinement: If your cousin was confied to a room and not physically allowed to leave, he could face this charge. It carrys a max penalty of 10 years in prison. Oh and please tell your cousin she has nothing to be ashamed of or scared of. This guy did a sick horrible thing to her, and he needs to be locked up, otherwise he will do this to other little girls. Your going to have to make this call yourself, your aunt and mom most likely won't do anything to break the cycle. Yes your cousin may hate you but in the long run she will be glad you did this. Also the police are going to interview you, your cousin (espically), your aunt, your mom, and the pedophile. The pedophile will flat out deny any wrongdoing or he will make excuses, your mom will most likely back him up out of fear. Your aunt is probably on the fence so your going to have to convince her this guy needs to be locked up. The police are going to ask your cousin VERY detailed questions, I strongly recommend you stay with her during this. Some questions they might ask her 1) Can you tell us who molested you? 2) Did your mom's boyfriend ever make you feel unsafe? 3) Has your mom's boyfriend ever hit you or threaten you? 4) Has your mom's boyfriend ever kissed you? If so can you tell me where? 5) Has your mom's boyfriend ever touched your privates? 6) Has your mom's boyfriend ever made you touch his privates 7) Has your mom ever placed his penis inside your vagina? 9) Has your mom's boyfriend ever made you promise not to tell anyone? |
