The Sentimentalist

Reported my rapist to the police & started a blog to share my experience. 24, female. A raging feminist. Poet, writer. Rape Survivor. Not actually a panda.

I have given witness in court at my rape trial and have lived to tell the tale. Impatiently waiting now. Would be so apt to get the verdict today on #internationalwomensday - https://t.co/McxgHWdDkg

My rape trial begins tomorrow. I feel numb and empty. I tried to write about how I feel but there is still nothing - Will there be a trial? https://t.co/nG9xjqxReI

@AnnaTAndrews Thank you!

[Saprea @saprea_org]

You are strong. You are worthy. And you are meant to live a life full of hope and love. #reclaimhope

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

Yeah doesn't really help watching thousands of people cause a mutiny defending a convicted rapist #rapesurvivor #rapecase

False rape allegations are rare – rape is not. Stop using the case of Jemma Beale to discredit all women https://t.co/l03gIgmxFQ

In a month's time I'll be at court & my life will change. To say that I am terrified would be an understatement #rapesurvivor #justice

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

I have an update on the rape case. It's a month away! https://t.co/zClfSQQLPm #rape #sexualabuse #rapesurvivor #notavictimanymore #blogger

Read my blog to catch up on what's happened so far with my #rapecase https://t.co/apfT236PjN #rapesurvivor #sexualabuse

The communication with the police and witness care has not been consistent which has caused some additional anxiety but I expected this.

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

So far it has all been good news for me. The case is going in the right direction. But the biggest decisions will be made at the trial.

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

He was charged in August last year, pleaded not guilty, appealed unfit for trial that got rejected, made admissions, now there'll be a trial

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

Hi all, apologies for my long silence. The past year has not exactly been busy. I'm writing a post that should explain all.

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

New blog will come as soon as I have processed this information!

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

MY RAPIST HAS BEEN CHARGED! I REPEAT. MY RAPIST HAS BEEN CHARGED BY THE POLICE #rape #police #justice #survivor #allhopeisnotlost

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

Will soon write an update on my blog too, past few months have been a real roller coaster for me.

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

For those following my police case, it's with the Crime Prosecution Service & they decide if it is should be taken forward or not

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

Have not been here in a while, life caught up with me! Seems like I just can't catch a break & on that I am now going through a break up

[The Sentimentalist @1lonelypanda]

.@ZaimalA Hey, the police have sent it to Crime Prosecuting Service to determine what next steps to take. There has been no update in weeks!
