      This is why I could never do anything about my case because it is only my word against his though it has caused me years of trauma, fears, anger, shame etc. yeah emotions since it left no physical tracks after certain amount of time passed. That is why I encourage all victims to go to doc straight away, no matter how ashamed one feels or dirty.
      Here is my story, or at least some of it..
      I blamed myself for years and years without daring to tell anyone out fear not being believed. And I had to see this person face to face occasionally for a long time because he worked in a store where I went at times with my mom and when my mom was talking to him, he smirked and winked smiling this disgusting sleezy smile, and I felt like throwing up and stood further away while mom talked to him. I was sixteen and he 23 when it happened. I remember it like had happened yesterday.
      There might have been some proof if it had been possible for me to go to doctor but it was in the middle of night on new year's eve 1993-4 in a suburban area and I felt scared and disgusted and just wanted home. I had to walk in the middle of the night alone for about a mile in minus 15 degrees celsius afterwards. And no I didn't fight because it had not helped anything, it was in a gym of a youth club ( which he was a worker/guard of also) that was also built to be a bomb shelter and there was a disco next to it upstairs with high volume music( yeah I know it sounds strange but if one would see the building it is easier to understand). He closed the door with keys and threatened me and that he wont let me go before he got what he wanted and that there was no point of screaming because no one will hear me anyway and if I dont do as he says, he will get violent.
      He also threatened to do it again about six months later when in the center in the middle of the city on a daytime twisting my face with his hand when I said no way and whispered "we will see about that and you better not tell anyone" so I was even more scared. It happened because he waved his hand to me, I didn't wave back and just looked at him with angry and disgusted face so he came to me to ask why I didn't say hi and I said you know why. That is when he said it and twisted my face and left. I also went trough another R when 18 but it didn't leave as bad trauma as this one.
      Even after so many years later new year's eves are hard for me and not only because of this guy but exactly ten years later on new year's eve 2003-4 my second violent ex ( I had already been in a violent relationship earlier) tried to strangle me to dead. I wish I had taken picture of my neck at that time for proof( I never went anywhere because I didn't want him to get in trouble) but at least for the violence from him and the other ex I have people that can say it is true. Plus all the other violence trough school years to the black eye I got from my ex 2006, after that at least there has not been physical violence or new R related things although some other traumatic events.
      Btw the irony or cruel joke of life or something, that guy from the first part of my text was a referee in the first violent ex's games of floor ball and I had too see him occasionally there too. When he saw that my ex was with me, he was very keen to give him punishments for the smallest things. But I could make a shopping list of everything that traumatized me. I have complex PTSD and probably will never heal completely but at least therapy has helped me and also made me realize none of it was my fault and I should not feel shame or guilt. The only way I could at least prove it happened would be a confession from him though it could not be done anything about anymore. But I know he never would unless tricked to it.
      It is sad that these kinds of people as in this video make it harder for real victims being believed and scared to tell anyone. I don't tell my experiences for sympathy or attention but rather as warnings and support for some going trough similar things, that there is hope to things turn to better even if one has gone trough a lot, especially with years of therapy. There are so many who are holding everything inside and going trough things alone. We all have our own story and best we can do is to listen others' stories without judgement unless it is a professional on a case. Then of course proof is needed and I don't want anyone's life being ruined with false accusations. That is why I really don't like people who fake serious things.' This lady really seemed to need sympathy with any price.

I forget his name, but there's a video about him here on RUclips. He also appeared on a game show and sued them when he lost because he claimed that he'd given the right answer and they were wrong when they said it wasn't.

And yes, we fought it in the family, in the court, in the community and went bankrupt trying to save him from her. Eventually her employer pressed charges against her after figuring out that she had defrauded them (and their employees) of hundreds of thousands of dollars by soliciting donations for her 'dying' son. It was only then that the courts started paying attention to what she had done to my nephew, but it was too late.

      I agree. I had a "friend" who I was convinced had factitious disorder but it came out in stories and not medical ways. Like I believe it can be on a spectrum. Like she just needed a boost from people on Facebook and stuff to get the attention she needed. Her's were always these stories of men harassing her or offering her stuff for sex. Like once, twice maybe. But really, like was happening on a daily basis. And her reactions were like, "I had to go to the car and cry, I was so upset." And of course, nobody else was ever around.

    She was looking for love through sympathy, like she wanted just one person to ask who really abused her. Maybe that's the same train of thought when children falsely accuse someone of abusing them- they're looking for someone to investigate and figure out who it really is. Perhaps that's also why she couldn't accept being Treva, because someone she told in her family didn't believe that her uncle was abusing her. It was easier to deny being that person and keep spinning tales, even if it hurt other people. She definitely needs long-term help. Thanks for covering this case, Dr. Grande.

    There are many cases of sexual assault where there is no evidence. I think people coming forward should always be heard and taken seriously. It’s in the nature of the matter that there is not always going to be evidence. Cases like these should still be investigated because the vast majority of people coming forward have indeed been assaulted. And yet, only a fraction of cases will ever come to light because so many people hear sentences like „people should believe evidence, not emotions“ and fear that they might not be believed. Edit: it’s sad that a few black sheep like TT make it so much harder for real victims of sexual crimes to come forward.

      @ChristinQuander 2 года назад +3

      Mike you don’t seem to be too familiar with the topic. Many victims are in a state of shock or even denial, many just realize way later what actually happened to them. They might take hours, days, weeks, months and in some cases, even years to realize what was done to them. Some suffer from amnesia, others have been drugged and therefore take time to regain their memory. For these reasons that are psychologically reasonable reactions (fawn response etc), victims often times are simply not able to take „the right steps“ immediately since due to the panic reaction their brains don’t work as they usually would. On a side note regarding evidence, have you heard of a thing called condom? Guess what - no proof, even if you go to a clinic straight away which only very few victims are able to do for the above stated reasons.

    Treva reminds me of a very troubled student who attended my junior college in the mid 90s. She was an older student, I think in her late thirties, and an attention seeker. She was always protesting outside the school, waving placards, falsely accusing professors of being child abusers, claiming they harassed her and had affairs with female students, who, for one, were not children but of age. It turned out not to be true, and two of the professors she accused were gay men. Then she began to show up at faculty sponsored conferences where students get to ask questions of the faculty on the direction of the school budget, new courses, etc. She kept on with her rants about professors being abusers, rapists, and screaming things like, "How can you allow grown men to teach subjects that children are interested in, like video game design! You know these courses attract more young people to abuse! You're in cahoots!" She then went on to accuse these instructors of abusing her. Eventually she was expelled from the school, banned from the campus, and issued restraining orders to keep away from the professors she harassed. Not only did this lady make things up but saw herself as some kind of innocent child being preyed upon, or at least that's the way she wanted to be seen. Very sick lady and I wouldn't know how to diagnose her. Then again, I'm not a psychologist.

      I know false accusations are extremely rare, but I've personally seen one serial abuser have her false accusation disproven (twice - one was a rape accusation where the victim was in another state at the time and one was an abuse accusation when she was the abuser and the victim had hundreds of messages and videos to prove it), and seen one woman in a group chat I was in advise another woman to falsely accuse a man of rape just because she disliked him.
      Granted, I've known a lot more people who were credibly raped, manipulated, and abused, me included. And I tend to default to believing because those things are unfortunately very common.
      But those two incidents had real victims, too (mostly the first - in the second the advisee rejected the "advice" and we kicked that girl out of the group) and the fact that so many people automatically believed the serial abuser just because she told an emotional story? It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and it always introduces doubt. Those are the people who, aside from hurting their victims directly, make it even harder for the rest of us when we have a real story to tell.

There were some who said it shouldn't matter what age she really was, just what age the men thought she was. But then again, they likely subconsciously perceived her as being not that much younger than them. We all know how disgusting it gets when child abusers claim "but they seem more mature", but in this case she actually WAS. It's just a mess. If I remember correctly, the article focused on the legal implications of this, but I can't remember the details.
