reality sets in
i got the form today, from crown counsel, to fill out for the victim impact statement. a bunch of papers, bureaucratically over-explaining every last aspect in horrifying detail...the part that really gets me, is the line where they ask for my consent to make the statement available to "the national or provincial parole boards, and the federal or provincial corrections authorities", a line filled with terms that, up until now, have only every had any relevance in my life through mike. hard, scouring words. this is fucking real. he could actually go to prison. shit.
two sides of me are at war. i know he did something wrong, and he did something wrong to me, but to be part of the machine that sends anyone to the same place that has made mike and his family miserable feels like i, myself, have become the enemy.
this sucks so bad.

You've already done the hard part and reported it to the police, now it's just a matter of the final touches to their case and then the trial can start. Testifying and being cross-examined may be stressful, just keep focused and get this asshole! Guys like this need to have an example made of them so we can all feel safer.

Intentional sexual assault should always be punished with jail time, even first-time offenders, otherwise women won't bother coming forward to report the crime. Don't feel bad about sending someone away, clearly they need to learn a lesson, the only question is will they learn or re-offend?
