Sexual assault

Hi sisters please bear with me this involves sexual assault
I just found out that my ex boyfriend molested 2 of my siblings while we were together for 3 years. I was 15 he was 22 and my siblings would have been 10 and 12. It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. What can we do about it? It was 15 years ago. Can i go to the police like where do I go. I believe my siblings deserve justice and he deserves to pay. He groomed us all it is absolutely disgusting. I feel so sad that I couldn't protect them and i didn't know any of it was happening. Any advice would be appreciated thank you so much

I just want to say that this is in no way your fault! You're a victim in this too.
This man was a predator - it's all on him!

Your siblings are going to have to be prepared to make a statement to police themselves I'm afraid, if they want to of course. Realistically speaking though, the chance of this scumbag facing any real justice for 15 year old sex crimes is slim. So, do keep that in mind.

I would encourage your siblings to get some sexual assault counselling, some counselling for yourself wouldn't go astray as well.

Google, report sexual assault and your state.

I’m sorry this happened to you and your siblings, and yes, you were a victim too.

Ring your local police station and let them know what you want to report and they should get you all in to make statements and also lead you in the right direction for counselling. I'm so sorry this has happened. You are also a victim, you were a child yourself.

He also molested you hun, you were a child and he was an adult. I would report it and include yourself as well, he groomed you because you were a child and he is a pedophile..

I am genuinely glad to see that you got a more positive response than I did when I asked the question on this forum if I should report my abuser from 15 years ago to police. I was told I had no right to ruin his life, and this left me reeling. I’ve come to the conclusion that’s just not true, in fact he absolutely trashed my life and I will always carry the scars with me

I reported it and have been supported by a female detective the whole way through it’s a long process and will take up to 2 years before a court date.

Women and girls have the right to be safe

Historical sexual assaults are hard but given that there's 2 victims I'd say you have a good chance of getting help. Most states have no statute of limitations on childhood sexual assault.
I hope you all get the justice you deserve xx
