What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I'm not American. I hope I can still post even though I'm from Alberta, seems close enough to me but I'm not an expert.
I just feel really ashamed and manipulated and embarrassed this even happened. So me and my (now ex)boyfriend were hanging out one night so we decided to watch the stars. I was drinking a little bit. We went and we started making out. And he got really touchy like more touchy than usual. His hands were exploring everything. The whole time I was really uncomfortable, since that isn't what I do. I decided I didn't want to do this anymore after he took off my shirt. I told him, "I don't want you to think that you are doing anything wrong, but I can't do this." He just ignored me and kept going and unclipped my bra. I figured he didn't hear me. I didn't really do much about it which embarrasses me. But it wasn't enjoyable. But things went a little farther and I distinctly remember 2 other times (I know exactly when they happened) where I said I didn't want to do this and I wasn't ready. I tell my self he didn't hear me because I know he did because the next day he was all like, "Did that stop mean stop orrrrrr-" I waited for an or. There was no or. He knew I wanted to stop. I feel really manipulated and used. I called Kids Help Phone and they told me it was sexual assault even though we never had sex. We got really close to it though. But I dunno. I'm so stupid about caring about this. I wish it never happened.
I don't really know. I don't think there is anything I could do legally, but I find talking about it, even anonymously online, helps the healing process. And I like to use my options even though I will probably never use them. (I'm 17, he's 18 if that matters). Please help.
