How Do I Go About Seeking Damages And A Conviction For Someone Who Drugged And Raped Me Repeatedly As A Minor (occurred In Va)
I’m going to keep this post short and skip over the unnecessary details:
In short sometime around when I was 15-16 years old an individual (I will call them JD or John Doe) added a bunch of teenagers on Snapchat, I recognized JD as the son of one of my favorite teachers from when I was in Middle School, so when he started up conversation with me I didn’t think much of it, JD was approximately 25 around this time. I being a gay teenager was still struggling with accepting myself and feeling like I would never get to be with someone of the same sex. So when the conversations with JD turned sexual I fell for it hook-line and sinker. Every time I met with JD he would get me extremely drunk before raping me, my memory of some of the events are slightly blurred. On one occasion I had taken Ambien for my insomnia and I was trying to sleep, all I remember is waking up several hours later in the middle of the woods, surrounded by empty beer cans and half dranken bottles of liquor, and JD attempting to penetrate me, I left and went home. When I turned 18 JD lost interest in me, and I have been left mentally exhausted trying to process what I experienced during that time period. I am 21 now. I have screenshots of sexually explicit messages and photos he sent me with timestamps dated before I had reached the age of consent (18 in Virginia), I was wondering how I move forward with this, if I can seek damages, and above all else if it would be possible to get him convicted, I have a hunch that he is still doing this to this day and that there are probably countless victims, I would not be surprised if he had a collection of CP on his personal devices. I do not feel comfortable that this man is still out there doing god knows what to confused and naive teenagers. I have friends that were also added by him, he is an equal opportunity offender, as in he preys on both boys and girls.
