Know the guy that raped my girlfriend, what to do

I have his name, address, where he works, everything.

Theres no evidence anymore at this point, been a few weeks so it would be pointless going to the police for a "his word vs her word" dispute.

Debating what to do at this point. I've been filled with immense anger and hatred for the last few weeks. Cant sleep, can barely eat.

Of course I'm there for my girlfriend, and will continue to be . But it hurts both of us to see this smug little **** walking around, whilst we're suffering so badly.

As i said, I have his address and everything. I'm trying to let it go, but I can't , the pain is so strong, and time hasnt healed at all yet. Dont know whether to just leave it or get revenge, and if so , how ?

Thoughts ?

I'd beat the **** out of him definately; if it has severely traumatised you and your girlfriend then get revenge.

He could go to the police if you do that, but he deserves it for being so disgusting.

Don't do it if you're puny though.

I'd whistle on my way to Argos, purchase a nice sized baseball bat and pay him a visit.

You're going to get a lot of TSR males in here beating their chests about going and hurting him but that is really not what you should do.

Think about it. You have strong motive. No doubt you'll leave evidence. Do you think your girlfriend wants you ending up on an assault/battery charge? Or if you go too far and actually end up really hurting him.. ABH, GBH, (attempted) manslaughter or murder? Think it through.

Your girlfriend needs you to be there for her and to be patient with her. Don't be a dumb vigilante. Focus your anger into something more positive, try to help her and try to be there for her when she needs you. Even if there is no evidence, she should still report it. He might do it again. Being investigated by the police will be a big deterrent, regardless of if the CPS prosecutes or not.
So... what does your girlfriend want? Have you considered that? If I was in her position, I certainly wouldn't want you to "beat the **** out of him" or what not. Don't be an animal.

This.

Your girlfriend should consider reporting the rape and you should tell the police what you know. Many rapes are reported years after the actual offence took place.

Exactly how did he rape your GF?

I would want to kick his ass!

Report him. The fact that he has been arrested it for it/ investigated will throw him off and **** him up! It appears on some CRB checks! :smug:

Its rape............. There will be forensic evidence! I bet you spoilt it.

ring the police, tell them that you're about to get yourself in to a big heap of trouble with the law, batter him.

It was probably concensual and rape was just her excuse for cheating.

It has happened before (in other cases). Just another reason why it is a bad idea to go and cause the guy harm.

EDIT: Don't beat the guy up, however tempting it may be. You'll end up with a charge for assault or something. Get her to talk to the police or a rape counsellor person.

Insufficient to convict, even if signs of 'forced entry' :frown:


Not necessarily. As I said before, it is not unusual for rapes to be reported years after the actual offence occurred. In those sorts of cases, there will be no forensic evidence and it will be a case of the victim's word against the defendant's and any circumstantial evidence the Crown can gather.

The defence will usually attack the victim on the length of time it took her to report the crime. Apart from that, all they can do is put the defendant's case forward and it is up to the jury to decide.

Rape conviction rates are very low. However it is better to report the matter and let the police/ CPS decide on whether a prosecution is the best way forward.

I wouldn't usually condone violence, but if you could beat the s*** out of him and get away with it, do it.

Nope.

I am merely curious as to what 'rape' was involved.

Was she drunk and around this guy? Was it at a party and she said no but he went for it anyway?

Did he force her down an alley.

For starters, you want to explore every possibility of motive, etc. Then you want to go to the police and they will take your side because of the way the justice system works i.e. the proof burden will be on him to prove that he isn't a rapist of which won't happen when forensic evidence comes in, people justify against the plaintiff etc. So if all goes well and I very much pray that it does, he could get anywhere from 1 year to life.

Just a note, I too agree with all the males here in saying that he should be beaten to a pulp and tortured for committing such an awful horrific crime ... I am fully against these people, however as always they have a right to be treated equally and to a fair justice process as which if followed, the above should be fair.
