“We went to the family court, together with the public defender, we said that we did not agree with the measures taken. It’s a rape, in a pack, it’s something sinister. When I go viral, I find out that this person has committed this behavior a lot of times, I asked him to wear an anklet,” the victim told Underlined, who also reported that this Friday the Family Court ordered the defendants a restraining order not to approach the victim.
“I feel very afraid, I feel depersonalized from my body, I have no words, I am taking a medication that brings me gastric problems. I feel ashamed for something that is not my fault but the police make me feel that way, ”said the victim, who she charged against the police officers who attended her. “I’ve heard phases like you don’t seem vulnerable.”
The story of the facts
When recounting the facts, the victim expressed: “My memories go back to 10 p.m., when I went out with him (the main defendant) to talk to some neighbors who were complaining about the volume of the music. He shares a drink with me, I feel bad, my friends ask permission to go to bed. I don’t remember anything else.”
“I felt weak in my body, I couldn’t hold myself up, my legs were going backwards. I didn’t feel nauseous. I go out, I drink alcohol, and I had never lost consciousness, ”she explained.
In addition, the victim recounted what his friends told him about what happened once he lost consciousness. “According to my friend, he suggests that we go up to her room and he begins to touch her vagina and mine, and she puts the brakes on him, tells him that we did not want to be with him, that I could not make a decision. She goes down to look for my birthday friend and when they go up the door was locked, I did not respond, he (the defendant) responded that I was fine and that they should leave.
“In that meantime they go up and down, when they manage to open the door, he, his cousin and his brother were on top of me, there were traces of semen on my underwear, marks and bruises on the arms and thighs. I just became aware on Saturday at 12 noon when I woke up in another house, that of my friend the birthday boy. They told me about the situation that I had experienced and I was shocked, and I understand why my pelvis and arms hurt, ”he added.
Finally, the victim recounted what happened the next day, and denounces that she had problems accessing the necessary medicines when a situation of rape is reported. “There I receive first aid, I receive medications for sexually transmitted diseases, but I don’t receive certain things, such as preventive treatment for HIV. I got it thanks to the psychologists from the Maldonado Prosecutor’s Office,” added the victim.
