Trigger warning-

I finally feel safe enough to report my abuser, after more than a year of abuse. I have text exchanges right after the first rape in which I told him I felt extremely violated and assaulted and reiterated that I’ve told him I did not want to perform that specific act, including earlier that night. His response was never denying that I did not give explicit consent. Another text exchange to where I told him I did not want to do anything that night or the next morning, before he came over (where I pushed him off twice and woke up to him inside me anyways) and another about a week later where I said “you’re welcome for leaving out the rape part, including last week when I told you no and woke up to you inside me anyways” to which he never denies raping me (which anyone who DIDNT would oppose that statement, right ?) and tells me that I wasn’t perfect. Everything else, I do have medical notes where I disclosed the DV to my dr from June, pictures of the bruises, and more text exchanges where I told him he was wrong for the specific acts, like slamming a car door on me over and over and intentionally breaking my items(also have pictures of multiple times he smashed my dresser and literally tore apart my room and a clip from my camera where he says “maybe you shouldn’t have put it in my fucking face, what did you think was going to happen?” ),where he responds “I made mistakes”. Another where I told him trust was gone when he broke my tv and my foot and he responds “trust was gone before that” which feels like acknowledgement of his actions. Would this be sufficient for proof for at least some of these charges to stick ? He put me through hell and I found out that he did that to MANY women, some never made any reports, some did and never followed through. I don’t want to expose myself like this if I don’t have enough to get him convicted. I don’t want anyone else getting hurt and I want justice for what he did to me. Any advice ?
