"I thought Jacob was a friend and engaged in consensual sexual relations with him during those three days. It took me five months to process and understand that Jacob had violated my trust and my body. It is common for victims of rape to take months, if not years, to come to terms with this, particularly if the abuser is one in a position of trust to them."

What the actual fuck? This is insanity. I don't care for a throwaway account, I'm happy to put my name to this comment.

The real insanity is that the majority of comments are clinging to this out of context sentence as discrediting the author especially when it comes well after this earlier statement

> Less than a week later, Jacob raped me in his apartment. Two of Jacob’s friends witnessed the assault, one other participated.

> In June 2016, I published a description of my assault under the pseudonym “River” on jacobappelbaum.net alongside others’ accounts of harassment and assault.
