for sexual orientation. That would automatically get them off the hook anyhow. The local police here are corrupt and the courts are even worse. They routinely slap violent offenders on the wrist, depending on what they did. After thinking about it and how I didn't do the right thing after it happened (go to a hospital) I realized that I didn't stand a chance. The boss was a respected member of the community around here. It would have been my word against hers and I would have been mentally raped all over again.

I finally went through my own hell on earth and then started to recover when I found a good therapist. From what I have heard, karma or whatever it is called, has gotten her now. I'm satisfied with that.

In the meantime, I plan on concentrating on my education and moving forward to get out of here one day. The mentality my boss displayed toward me is the average mentality around here. You can find a few people who don't share that sort of mentality, but they are few and far between.
