yes he was arrested. that made me really afraid. he has alot of money...i mean ALOT. i thought for sure he would come after me when he got out. of course he only spent a night and a day in jail but ended up spending a fortune to his lawyer...justice was served there anyway lol. we went to court and the jury had to find him guilty on six points. they found him guilty on five. because of my black out he got off. i wracked my brain for days trying to trigger a memory and came up w/ nothing. so, he didnt end up serving any time....which is funny because when the jury went to deliberate his attorney came over to speak to the DA while i was sitting there and asked what he would recommend as a sentence! they both thought he was going down! but, he ended up paying a fortune for that attorney and that is justice enough for me. i still have issues w/ the whole black out thing...i am sure to always have that weighing over me. he knows i cant remember and he sat there in that chair and smiled everytime it was brought up. i dont know what happened but i do know a little about what a rape victim must feel. i didnt want anyone to know...i didnt want to call the cops...i didnt want to go to court or tell my story...i didnt want to be judged. i just wanted to drop it there and forget about it. get on w/ my life. but i knew i couldnt w/out closure. i knew i would see it through. and i am so happy that i did. if only i could get over that creepy feeling that he knows where i am and he knows every move i make. i would gladly go through it again to protect my daughter....just tryin to stay safe ya know. pray for me....if youre the prayin sort. thank you all for being understanding.
