Ok, I haven't told anybody this...
It's hard to even write on the net, even though I
don't know any of you.
Here gos.
When I was 7, my uncle molested me.
I didn't tell anybody because I was ashamed, scared,
embarrassed, the list gos on!
I want something to be done about it.
Now that I'm older, and I could take it if he beat
me up, I've had my share of fights...
Actually, many people's share of fights.
But that's beside that point...
I want him to go to jail or something.
How do I know he isn't out there fuckin' molesting
some other poor soul. I don't want anybody else
to go through what I did.
So, if I told somebody, would they do something
about it, even though it's been years since it
happened??
I need to know, because if it's too late, I don't
want to go to the cops and tell them if they can't
do anything about it.
Advice? (link)

Same here.
I want to speak out about it but I know the result, it will break my family into peices.
Also it was when I was 16, and now I am nearly 19, so its quite a big gap, but it has affected my life ever since.
I think its up to you how you go about it, but be VERY careful, because its not simple.
There is alot of law aspects to cover. I think you should talk to someone in confidence first then work from there, either a friend or just someone on the rape crisis help lines, or a child abuse crisis line.
I spoke to a particular person and she gave me two options:
1. Tell the police, make a statement, get him sent down - but this would result in breaking my family in two as my uncle is my mums partners brother.
2. Live with it for now, I am not crying every single day, and I can cope if I think about other things and keep myself busy, and maybe later in life, Ill tell someone, at the moment I know he isnt harming anyone else, I know I was a one off, so I havent got that to worry about.
Its your choice, but make the right one because its not just as simple as ''he molestered me, send him down'' they have to try to find evidence, arrest him and question him etc.
Good luck with whatever you do.
