I would also recomend reading "Brittany" by jack weyland. [ BrennaSpeidel's advice column | Ask BrennaSpeidel A Question ]
Razhie answered Sunday February 7 2010, 10:40 pm: Well, yeah, it's molestation. Molestation technically means unwanted or inappropriate sexual activity. What you did with him was definitely 'unwanted', but it probably wasn't illegal molestation. Molestation, legally, is only a word used to apply to behaving with minors. With people over the age of consent, the laws become more specific: Sexual assault, is a crime. Rape is a crime. But molestation is too general a term and isn't criminal among adults in most states and countries.
Of course what he did was still really wrong! But you might as well think of him as a jerk, an asshole and a bully. You made a mistake in hanging out with him, and he, very wrongly and very unfairly, took advantage of your mistake. What he did wasn't right, I just don't want you to call it molestation and think it was a 'crime', because it probably wasn't.
Try to take a deep breathe and let it go. The very best thing you can do now is to forgive yourself (not him!) and to give yourself permission to trust your instincts and stick to your own rules in the future. You should never feel forced to be with someone who scares you. If it ever happens agian, you have to ask for help, not give in to a bully. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
