Stop Police Sexual Violence

I was sexually exploited by a police officer and will share my journal from October 1993 to August 1995. I experienced a lot of different types of abuse and it is impossible to label the experience as one thing within the almost 2 years of knowing Mikey. During this time, he groomed me for a sexual relationship, that ended up including sexual abuse, sexual assault, attempted rape, Police Sexual Violence, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. There was a time where I honestly thought he loved me and I loved him — when I first came across AdvocateWeb in 2003, someone suggested reading Why It’s Not an Affair by Rev. Patricia L. Liberty and replacing Clergy with Police Officer and it really helped me with the starting of my healing.

During my journal blogs, I will also reflect on how I healed through the years and also pointing out the RED FLAGS that something was wrong. I was only 16 when I met Mikey and he was a 45 year old police officer. Some may decide to blame the victim, but I’m hoping to give enough resources and education that when you leave this sight you not only know why the Abuser is at fault, but also how to spot the red flags and relationship that is motived by sexually exploitations and abuse. While my experience involved a police officer, it could as easily have been anyone who has authority and power, such as a teacher, pastor, counselor, or doctor. For more information, see AdvocateWeb. If you or someone you know has been emotionally or sexually exploited in psychotherapy or other healthcare setting, see TELL.
