He's in Jail! #Justice

Three years ago on May 18, 2013, I experienced the worst thing I have ever experienced.  Three years ago on May 18, 2013, I was raped by someone I considered a close friend.  I trusted him, obviously more than I should have.  Only a few months before this, I went through major surgery (very end of January) and he was there to help me with things I couldn't do on my own, like move around furniture. I had known him for over a year. I'm not going to get into details about what happened, because there is no point to reliving that experience for the sake of a blog post, but know it was probably the single worst thing I have ever gone through.  Dealing with law enforcement and the justice system afterwards made things incredibly worse and didn't acomplish anything other than knowing that I did everything in my power to get justice.  They claimed that there was insufficent evidence and that's why they couldn't do anything to help me.  So, the last three years, Ihave been scared that I will run into him and everything will just come back and put me back at the beginning.  I have worked very hard to not let what happened to me control every aspect of my life.
A few days ago, I was online searching something and I'm not entirely sure how or why but I landed on a website where you can search for inmates in the Wayne County jail sysem. Something made me curious and instead of ignoring the website, I searched for him.  I was more than surprised when his name came up... twice! He was arrested in December on two charges.  One is Second Degree Home invasion and the other is First degree Retail Fraud.  His bond is set at $20,000 for one of the charges and $25,000 for the other.  He is in jail!!! It may not be because of what he did to me, but nonetheless, he is in jail and I don't have to think about him popping up anywhere for a long time.  Thank God!!! I finally feel like I have a little justice.  He's in jail. Finally!
I just wanted to share this, because its so important to me and my life story.  Hopefully this can be a little reminder that we don't know what other people are going through. I'm a survivor.
