    Default Raped By A Teacher

    OK, on August 10, 2003, I was molested by a teacher at my therapeutic boarding school. He was being very psychologically abusive and forced his nuts into my mouth. I was 18 at the time, and the crime happened in Connecticut.

    My question is, what is the statute of limitation on this form of offense, and since he was in a supervisory position, would that still be statutory rape.

    Also, there is no biological evidence or any witnesses, since I never came out about it until roughly 2 years later. Would there still be ways to have a solid case, because I am worried about spending a lot of money for a not guilty verdict.

    Also, the teacher is now teaching at a public school in Indiana. If I was to send them a letter detailing what happened, could they have the right to fire him. I know union law is much weaker in Indiana.

    Thanks, I've been thinking about pressing charges for a long time. I have had a lot of psychological damage from this incident; and I have mental health issues to begin with!!!!

    What proof or evidence do you have to the attack? If you have none, it would become your word against his and a jury needs to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime was committed.

    If you notify others of this without some validation, you are opening yourself up for defamation charges that would be near impossible to defend.

    About spending any money; if you are looking to have a criminal charge filed, it would cost you nothing. The state picks up that tab.

    If you are looking at a civil suit, I would doubt, based upon your post, that you have much chance of prevailing.

    One big factor in cases like this is whether there have been previous incidents of abuse or misconduct by the same teacher. Stuff like that rarely happens in isolation - there's usually a pattern of conduct. Whether or not evidence of other accusations is admissible, it can make a difference to a prosecutor in deciding whether or not to proceed with charges.
