How to I get justice for my sister?

Question

My 16 year old sister was the victim of a sexual assault by someone we know, he didnt get too far as she was able to fight him off but he did grab and touch her innapropriately, and he threatened her not to say anything about it. We went to the police about it but they said they need more evidence as there was no actual rape, they said they could arrest him but the district attorney might now want to prosecute for lack of evidence. HE CAN NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS. He attacked her and threatened her, whos to say he wont try something else. If the police does not do anything, I want to know what I can do, I want to slit this scumbags throat, but I want to know what i cam reasonably do to get justice.

Answer 1

Have her tell her school nurse - and your parents or guardians.

School nurses are mandatory reporters, and it should get more attention if she reports it through school. Your parents/guardians can also demand the police do more. Sometimes kids making reports aren't taken seriously, which is wrong - but then, sometimes there is more drama behind the story and they've heard enough to think this might might another case of that.

Have her write down everything that happened, and if there were any other witness, have them write things down too. Unfortunately, the police are correct in that they need evidence, and just one person saying it happened often isn't enough - even if it did.

One of the most important things is not only to avoid this guy, but also to get your sister to talk about this to someone. Even a short incident like that can shape the way someone feels about other people, so minimizing the damage to her is as important as stopping him.

Here's where she could start:

"Justice" isn't something you go and get - and often, there is none. If this guy keeps on doing inappropriate things, someone will get him - it shouldn't be you. Going after him, or having anyone else do it, will simply rob your family of their good reputation- and put you in jail. Don't.

Get your sister help, and tell her to speak to her school nurse when she can.

Answer 2

Then put you violent anger into something legal and constructive or you will end up with a criminal record. Go and get a restraining order against this person, that way he comes anywhere near her she can phone the police immediately and he will be arrested for breaching a court order...it also makes it very clear to the police/prosecutor he is a seriously dangerous person and restricts him as well...you can only hope there is enough evidence to prosecute him

Answer 3

Start by getting some security for the house or apartment you have. Next watch out for this person by that I mean wait a week then follow him in a rental or just follow him and wait with a recorder or camera, you will see his routine and if he comes by the house and what he does. Three days should be enough. Next wait for him to return and both your sister, don't go looking for him to but protect her and be patient. Be constant. Do not use a gun or knife, you'll know what to do. Do you bowl bowling balls are nice and hefty if you drop one on your foot it can really hurt, so be careful bowling.
