After a night out I was walking home,and on the phone to my boyfriend at the time. I got to the traffic lights on union st across from the court building and decided my shoes were hurting and I needed to take them off. I was sorting this out myself and a man in his 20s approached and started to help. I wasnt comfortable with this but decided it was safer to just accept it, thank him, and to move on quickly. While I was waiting for the light to change though he decided to sexually assault me and put his hand up my dress, past my underwear and inserted her fingers. He laughed while I was in a state of shock and sauntered off. I tried to brush the incident off and put it out my mind, as I didn’t think the police would take me seriously at the time and felt they’d just blame me for it because I’d had a few drinks that night & was walking home alone. But it’s started to haunt me in recent years.
