Currently I am 24 years old, when I was 15 I was a victim of sexual harassment. I was mugged on my way home from school at noon in the park. The man, threatening with a knife, forced me to have oral sex. Unfortunately, I did not tell anyone about this incident. Despite the passage of time, I struggle with lowered self-esteem. Can this act be qualified as rape in this case? Would psychological therapy be effective after such a long period of time?
Rapeis having full sexual intercourse.Oral sexwould likely be classified as other sexual activity - which is also punishable. However, you should talk to your lawyer more broadly about this. When it comes to therapy - taken at any age, it can help you cope with these unpleasant experiences from the past and improve your quality of life.
So I recommend going to a psychotherapist.
