I Was Sexually Assaulted When I Was 14 In Church.

Card image cap

When I was 14, I was sexually assaulted by someone who was the same age as me. He groped on me continuously after I said no multiple times. Once I went to a leader (who’s a mandated reporter) about it, she went to his family member (his sister) and told him to stop being too affectionate. Did not report it to my parents, only to his siblings, and reprimanded him for being too affectionate. They did not report it to someone higher up/the person in charge of the congregation.

I am still a minor and this occurred two years ago. I do not know how to continue and how to go about this. I would appreciate some advice to help me figure out how I can go forward with charges.
