Hi! I'm Jane Doe. I am 20 years old and am on here to share my story of sexual assault and everything after. 
I got the idea after reading Know My Name by Chanel Miller. She did such an amazing job at explaining her story and how it effected her. I feel like her story is important because it was a very unjust ruling. The-one-who-shall-not-be-named should have never gotten away with it. 
I'm here to share my story because I want to show the REALITY of how slow the court process can be actually be and how traumatic it is to survivors to keep reliving it. I'm also sharing my story because it's the first I have ever heard someone sharing this part of the court process. The ugly and not very pretty side of it all. 
I really do advise that if you have issues with this particular topic that you read with caution and take proper breaks, if you so need. Perhaps read it with a therapist or someone you trust. But the biggest thing I want you other survivors to know is that you're not alone. So many people support you and believe you and want what is best for you. I support you. I believe you. You are stronger than you can ever imagine and you will come out of this stronger and braver than you ever were before. 
This story started in 2017 and is still developing. My goal for this book is to write and publish as much as I can now and then just slowly update as things develop. I feel like that will be a very different approach to this as it will bring you along my journey and you can experience it at the same speed as me and can get a better understanding for how this has been for me. So please, stick around. Trust me, things are going to get good. There's so much to this story and I'm not sure my words will ever do it justice but I sure can try and hope for the best. 
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope you come back soon and check out my story.
