I know it indicates you don’t know. That’s exactly the point. If it happened to me, I would have found the guy and asked him were he went. I would think most people would have done the same.

“I deployed to the Gulf War a few months later.”

And? What about the next day? The day after that? You expect us to believe you’ve been carrying this emotional baggage for so long and it never occurred to you to contact the person who introduced you to your rapist? It just doesn’t make any sense. Like I said, I’m not commenting on female on male rape. I believe it can happen. But I do not believe this particular story. I’m not an amateur at fraud detection either. It’s something I’m pretty familiar with.
