grilled me on all of my male friends

Quote

He called me fat cow, or stupid fat cow. When I talked about current events he would call me an idiot or retarded. The verbal abuse started as progressive control as he went through my ‘Facebook’ friends and grilled me on all of my male friends to see if I had slept with them. Then it became insults around what I was wearing, having lip gloss on, breakouts. Then it progressed to “don’t speak unless spoken to” and “nobody will ever love you.” The verbal abuse was constant and escalating. Initially, I would fight for hours, but over time as my self-esteem was chipped away, I gave up and just took it. This abuse took me away from myself, my family and friends. It caused constant fear, anxiety and devastation in my life. I speak openly about it now and became an advocate to others. Do not let him get to you. He isn’t worth it. No sex is worth that. And it looks like I’m not the only one.

know the definition of rape vs Texas legal prosecution requirements

Quote

I feel it would help ALL those here to know the definition of rape vs Texas legal prosecution requirements. I wouldn’t call him a rapist. Just sayin. Think for yourself. He can get to my panties but he can’t get to my head or my heart. It’s the only way to mess around with a guy like him. Fuckboi anyone? Am I right?

“The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

But in reality… “Rape is forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. Penetration may be by a body part or an object. Rape victims may be forced through threats or physical means. In about 8 out of 10 rapes, no weapon is used other than physical force. Anyone may be a victim of rape.”

Sexual assault is unwanted sexual contact that stops short of rape or attempted rape. This includes sexual touching and fondling. (But, be aware: Some states use this term interchangeably with rape.) safeplacenantucket.com

My lawyer told me it comes down to consent. Legally, if you are coerced it’s not a rape charge. And for the sexual assault charge it basically has to be on film or have witnesses. Aka don’t bother because this one is lawyered up!
