Also posted on relationships. My boyfriend was abused for pornography when he was about 8 for a year or so. He doesn't remember every detail, but he remembers the location and some of the people involved. When he first told me about this, it didn't even occur to me that this shit could still be ongoing with other kids (I was just focused on trying to support him).

He just sort of casually mentioned yesterday that he has no idea where his abusers ended up when we were talking about a famous abuse case. I sort of just assumed they were jailed or died, but then he told me he never actually reported them. I was instantly like "how do you know they're not still doing that stuff?". And he cringed a bit then was like "Well, I don't...". We sat in silence for a minute. Then I said something like "you should really report them, right?" 

And he told me that he didn't think he'd be believed and he had no proof, and he really didn't want to talk about it to anyone who isn't me. I told  they'd investigate it - and there'd be DEFINITE incriminating shit on their computers or something, right? There'd be some form of proof. And then I told him I knew how awful this must be for him, but he deserved justice and other kids deserve to not be hurt. He just sighed and said we could talk about it tomorrow (it was pretty late at night).

Well, it's tomorrow. I don't know what to do. I know it's not his responsibility to report it, but I don't want those sick fucks to walk free after what they did or hurt anyone else, and my boyfriend deserves so so much more. Did I do wrong by trying to get him to report it? Should I drop it? I'm not sure. I can't stand the thought they might still be doing this shit. I feel personally responsible.
