Hi, I am sorry you are having to go through this, and it looks like you are still quite young, so bery young at the time of the rape. It is unforgivable that police failed you before. Look in your local phone directory, or call information and ask for the number of the local or national sexual assault services and/or domestic violence hotline. They usually have a toll free number if access to a phone or long distance is a problem, so that you can call from a payphone for free if needed. And many will take collect calls as well. They will know of attorneys dedicated to helping in cases like yours, who are in their careers to help, not to get rich. They will have counselors and advocates and even other victims you can talk to. And I think you might still be within the statute of limitations so that you can still press charges. The recent threats should end any doubt anyone may have had about the occurrence in the past. I also live in WA state, and have received many of thiese great services, little to no cost for me, on behalf of myself and my children. And once a police report is filed, you can file a claim for Crime Victim's Assistance, which can often help pay for your counselors and certain other needs. Most of all, take care of yourself, and don't stop talking until someone listens. And I am thankful your exboyfriend is standing by you, few do. That is the sign of a good man. My ex wanted everything hushed up, even though he knew about it going into the relationship.
Hopefully, a happy future awaits you once you get past some of this. And you are doing a very wise thing in asking for help. My thoughts will be with you. As for the former (lack of) law enforcement, there is always civil court to seek damages from the city or county that failed to protect you.
