I’m ashamed to talk about it… but a month later, I finally decide to make a report. I can’t let him win.

My experience:

The officer I speak to at the police station agrees to take my statement. He tells me that even if several weeks have passed, some evidence can still be collected. He warns me that it might be difficult to get video surveillance images without knowing which mailbox was used to mail the envelopes.

Explanation:

Legal processes can be long or discouraging, which is why it’s important to reach out for support—so you aren’t alone in the process of defending your rights. If intimate photos of you were shared online without your consent, it is important to keep copies of all proof (screencaps, messages, profiles) which can be used to trace the IP address of the abuser.
