Current Events > I think I was almost raped 15 years ago. AMA

(+) Yeah! (+)

Star basketball and football player got naked, wrestled me and tried to rip my underwear off in the locker room when we were (suspiciously) alone. I fought him back hard for like 10 minutes. He claimed he just wanted to see if I had fight in me since I wasn't showing it on the field. I was only on the football team because there were no cuts and my dad forced me into it as rehab after some serious foot surgery. I'm physically unable to be a good athlete due to my condition.

the

FUCK?!

That's pretty much rape my friend

Eugh, scary stuff.

---

That's pretty fucking scary.

No, not almost. You WERE. Thats weird as fuck in that dudes part.

---

um, yikes

---

That is terrible TC, I'm sorry that happened to you

---

Shoot, sorry that happened man. It sounds very scary. Its not the same but this football player showed us his junk when he was like 16 and we were ranging 9-12. He played in the NFL for a few years. He didnt aggress toward us like the person you had to deal with, however. My big brother did rape me when I was ~5 though.

---

Yea, that's fucked up

I've found myself going back to a lot of trauma from high school recently. I feel like my life was basically a waste up until like 24.

---

I was hoping this was gonna be a lighter topic, but fuck, man. That's nuts. Have you talked with anyone about this? Besides us?

This is why you need to learn self defense in most forms of combat.

Have you considered therapy to help battle your demons?

Was defenetely assault, if that is all it was i dont think it cna legally can be cosndiered rape but I'm sure that does not stop it form making you feel violated and like shit.

sorry about it man

---

Thanks guys.

I just kept my mouth shut at the time because I felt like no one would believe me, plus I felt like I'd only get bullied more for it. Twerpy kid that isn't a star athlete isn't going to get anywhere crying rape at an all-boys Catholic military school. Not that I really understood rape at the time, or wanted to sound "gay".

No I haven't really. I've tried therapy but haven't gelled with any of them yet.

Thing is, I fought back all the time because I had absolutely no control over my emotions. I didn't get diagnosed with autism until 23-24 and never seen a therapist before then either. I even pinned a dude to a desk and wailed on him and all shit like that did was make me the funny guy that people would piss off just to laugh at the blowup. They knew I couldn't really kick their asses.

it wasn't, it was a failed attempt, could be criminal I don't really know how it would play out in a court of law but from his point of view he fought it off and wasn't raped

anyway good job TC you stronk

It sounds like he tried to rape you, but failed. He definitely sexually assaulted you, though.

---

That's completely fucked up, I'm sorry you had to go through that TC.

---

You didn't think to kick him in the balls? I would have done that.

Train, get stronger, be strong enough so that no body can push you around wihout facing REAL consequences.

Don't be afraid to fight dirty.

IRL, there are no rules of combat when it comes to your life & safety.

Even if that means ending the attackers life, permanently crippling them, harming them, etc.

You didn't deserve what happened to you.

That person should've suffered some permanent consequences for what they did to you.

---

Im sorry it happened to you please report itvtobproper authorities, dont let him get away with it because he might do it to someone else he must be stopped asap

---

I have to ask, and I'm horribly sorry for this question..

Why did you bring this to gamefaqs? I'm genuinely surprised by the lack of rude and mean comments..

That being said, I'm glad they never managed to.. defeat you? I'm at a loss of words. My brother was raped so idk..

---

So what ended the assault? Did they just stop? Did you escape? Did someone interfere?

hockeybub89 posted...

my dad forced me into it as rehab after some serious foot surgery.

That seems counter-intuitive.

That seems counter-intuitive.

Probably a "REAL men play through the pain!" mentality. Certainly not something a responsible expert would recommend to someone after surgery.

---

Damn dude I'm sorry that happened to you
---

yeah thats clear cut sexual assault
im sorry this happened to you, we dont interact much but ive always had a lot of respect for you hockeybub
but yes i think this is something you need to discuss with a therapist
we can give you all the well wishes in the world but i dont think you will ever truly get over the teenage trauma you say you keep thinking back on until you speak with a professional.
