One of the worst forms of violence to experience in life is a four-letter word that everyone seems to dread. Speaking the word out loud, makes people run whether they are guilty or not. It's the one subject that when mentioned by a victim trying to speak up and report about, the entire public goes defensive for the offender and against the victim. Rape is a terrible sex crime. I personally hate that the word sex is involved in its explanations because it is nothing consensual about it and nor does it feel good in any way. Rape is described to be as sexual assault during the reporting process. Throughout the years, I have done almost everything to try and defend myself against rapists who refuse to stop at all. While homeless, I worked up the nerve to call 911 even though I do not trust police officers, doctors, or anyone else associated with the process since I've been screwed over so much and denied adequate medical care. Out of about 50 attempts in a span of 5 months, I was only able to have 6 rape kits successfully completed to where evidence was sealed tightly within a box along with the legal documents associated with it were complete. The details of each kit and the names that they go by will be discussed in another article that's coming up soon. For now, we'll just focus on the fact that I've been denied access multiple times while in the emergency rooms of several hospitals. This doesn't make any sense to have to deal with this treatment so I've been trying to figure out another way to defend myself.
Finally, I've found one that is another step that I can handle on my own without having to pay thousands of dollars and wait so many hours by using sperm detection testing. On June 29th, I used it for the first time and received a positive result during testing of a pantiliner sample I was wearing during the time of the sexual assault.
Using a swab on a pantiliner for transferring the fluid onto the test strip. The test strip displays a positive result for sperm being found on my pantiliner mixed with my discolored vaginal discharge including blood.
On July 4th, yes...Independence Day is obviously not for me still, I was sexually assaulted again. This time, I grouped up all of the evidence that I'd been collecting for that week and tested all of my samples.
Following the same procedure as stated above, I found more positive results for every single day that I had collected. Since the majority of the assaults occur in the middle of the night, I've had to adjust the dates accordingly.
It's not just about examining the vaginal area for sexual assault evidence. The entire body has to be taken into account to know each detail that had occurred. While testing, I found bruising on my arm as well as my ankles.
Always choose to #defendyourself even if there's no one else around regardless of how many threats and other forms of intimidation are received.
