Original story
Message to a Survivor
Keep going.
It was October of last year. I’d just moved to Los Angeles from New Jersey and was searching for a community. I found a local pick up soccer group called Group Name. One of the leaders of this group assaulted me at a party my first one I ever attended. I said No 13 times to this person before they kept pushing themselves on me. I couldn’t do anything for months after the assault because I felt like it was my fault. But I said No. 13 times. I’m still processing it months later and I’ve seen my attacker around the city at various events. It’s so incredibly hard and I’ve tried to reach out to people but they just don’t believe me.
