I was raped on August 31

Hello to all, this is Applebottoms02. I was raped on August 31, 2003 in my home by a male acquaintance, we were supposed to have a lunch together but things didn't turn out that way. Yes after he had raped me I did report it to the police and yes I did go to the hospital to get a exam, since after the rape, there were two charges on him, rape and abduction, in March 12, 2004 there was a preliminary hearing, after the hearing he was released on a $1, 000 bond, the total bond was $10,000, the grand jury was in April of 2004, after all that he decided to take a plea bargin, which was that instead of being charged with rape, plea guilty to sexual battery, 12 months jail time suspended for 5 years, no jail, no fine , no nothing, so yes he did get away with the crime he did to me. Yes It has been 10 months since the rape, I have a lot of angry towards him and toward my lawyer but I guess there is nothing else that I can to expect to try to move on with my life, moving is not as easy as people think it is though, I was in counseling but I had just stop going, I am thinking about going back to pick the piece so I am able to try to move on to the best of my ability, but I will never, ever, never forgive or forget of what that bastard has done to me so now I have to live the rest of my life with the aftermath of the case and not him, thank you all for listening to my story, if you like you can email me if you want to.
