Q: I am being sexually assaulted daily. It's been going on for about 4yrs. Is there any real way to find these criminals?
I'm assuming they're already in solitary.
A:
I'm sorry to hear about what you're experiencing. Under California law, it's crucial to take immediate steps to protect yourself and seek justice. You should report the assaults to the police as soon as possible. They have the authority and resources to investigate such serious crimes.
It's also important to seek medical attention to ensure your physical well-being and to preserve any evidence of the assaults. Medical professionals can document injuries and provide necessary care. Additionally, they can refer you to support services that offer counseling and assistance.
You might also want to reach out to a local victim support organization. They can offer guidance, support, and help you navigate the legal system. Remember, you have the right to feel safe and to receive help in such situations.
