Sophomore year (I was 15F and am a senior in HS now) this guy who is a year older than me (16M at the time) repeatedly manipulated me into doing sexual things with him. He’s gotten quite a bit of flack in the past on the internet for doing some other things (harassing girls for nudes (two of them being a year underage under Washington State law), cheating on his girlfriends, etc.)

The issue is that I’ve done pretty much exhausted every option I’ve had to get him in trouble for being a famous douchebag, but there hasn’t been a lot of justice. I got him in slight trouble with the PD over the two underage girls, but he only has a *file* made now and no actual charges because we were told it wasn’t worth it to press charges being that it was likely that it’d be thrown out of court. I went to our high school about it and tried to get him out of the school show because we had a lot of younger girls in the program and he was doing illegal shit, but the school didn’t do much and our drama director didn’t kick him out because he was “valuable” to the program. His parents were told about this among other gross actions of his, and his mother lashed out at *me* instead of controlling her kid. I also can’t prove sexual assault on me (or the other girl he abused) because everything he did *to me* was *technically* consensual, but absolutely morally abhorrent and deliberate and caused me a lot of psychological damage. As for the other girl, she won’t press charges and I can’t and won’t do it for her because it’s not my place.

Here’s the thing: I am sitting on a *shit ton* of evidence of him being a pervy, rude scumbag to a lot of people, and I have my personal testimony that can be backed up by numerous people that I confided in secretly at the time. He’s trying to become an actor, and I don’t think he deserves to have any sort of platform, nor do I think that it’s right that he didn’t suffer any consequences. He has since apologized to me, but from what I can tell, his actions have not changed and I wholeheartedly believe he only apologized because I was close to telling all of our friends what he’d done. I also confronted him numerous times in the past about what he did, and it took him about the 15th time to actually apologize.

Would I be the asshole if I went public with what he did? This is a legitimate question, not trying to karma-bait or just get validation. I’m just seriously not sure if it’s the right thing to do.
