Jenclick, the first thing I would like to say is it is terrible how you were treated. With that said, I would like to give you some insight on why you were treated the way that you were (remember I don’t say that this was right). You have to remember that a police officer who gets a complaint from a victim who states that she was raped (5) years ago, is thinking “you have to be kidding me” Why didn’t this person make a complaint (5) years ago”. Now I am assuming that you spoke to a uniformed officer, what you need to know is that most officers don’t have any training when it comes to dealing with sexual battered victims. So, if you put yourself in the shoes of the officer, he/she probably thought you were making up this story. With that said, it doesn’t excuse the manor in which he/she responded to you as a possible victim. You should have been treated with respect and dignity, which was not the case. I only want to give you some insight is to why you may have been treated the way you were, so that you can have a better understanding. Now, what I would tell you to do is this; you need to call the police department back, I would contact the detective division, someone who works sex crimes, and inform them of your situation. I would hope that they would take your complaint and act upon it. This does, as some have said, make a paper trail; demand that a report is taken. If that does not work, you let me know and I will contact the agency in your state and get to the bottom of this. It appalls me to see how victims are treated by some law enforcement agencies. I have contacts in Washington that I feel would be more than happy to help, I would hope. Let us know how this turns out, but don’t just drop it. Remember, the cycle of victimization can only be broken when the strong victim ends it. Please be a strong victim before there are more.
