I am a 7-year-old girl. I live with my parents in a small town.
One day, I was playing in the park when I saw my neighbor, an old man. He was kind, and I always liked to talk to him. He would often give me candy and tell me stories.
The old man asked me if I wanted to come over to his house for a snack. I liked him, so I said yes. When we got to his house, he gave me a cookie and a glass of milk.
After I had finished my snack, the old man told me that he had a surprise for me. He took me to his bedroom and showed me a box full of toys. I was excited, and I started to play with the toys.
After a while, the old man sat down next to me and started to touch me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to pull away, but he was too strong. He told me not to tell anyone what he was doing, or he would hurt me.
I was scared and confused. I didn't know what to do. I ran home and told my mother what had happened. My mother was shocked and angry. She took me to the police station to report the incident.
The police arrested the old man, and he was charged with molesting a minor. He was found guilty and sentenced to prison.
I am still traumatized by the experience, but I am grateful that I was able to tell my mother what happened. I am also grateful that the police arrested the old man and that he is now in prison. I know that what he did to me was wrong, and I am determined to move on with my life.
If you are a victim of sexual assault, please know that you are not alone. There are people who can help. You can talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor.
