It was rape, if he had sex with you without your approval and i dont think you wanted to have sex at 15, then it is considered rape. And yes there is people out there that when they get raped they could enjoy it or not, you were one of those people that enjoyed it most of the time. But no matter what its still considered rape. considering that he was way older than you and that is considered illegal to have sex with someone that is younger than 18 if the person that is going to have sex with you that is older than 18 years old, so no matter what it was considered rape. Please please please report this, i bet you weren't his only victim and he is still out there raping other people, so please report it.

Regardless of your age...

If you said no,
if you didn't want to participate
If you wanted it to stop.

It was rape.

I've been there myself, please, please, please, if nothing else, get counsel, seek out support, go to a therapist. Do something.
You are the most important factor in this situation. Your mental health, following this event is what takes priority. You lived through it. You're the survivor.
You're not alone, and you're not at fault, sweetheart.

Gypsy, a 15 year old child cannot consent to sex with a 26 year old man. It is a common misconception that rape needs to be physically forced. Many rapists use other methods; drugs, intoxication, threats, manipulation, etc.... by law this child was raped.

YES YES  YES!  You were raped.  Youth of girl. They took complete advantage of you and you were only a little girl 15 years old is too young by law and by any other means.  They knew you were young and naive so they again as I said before took advantage of view and tricked you.  Please always remember that it was not your fault it was theirs!  If it wasn't 10 years yet I would still file charges against them that should be put away!  God's blessings on you always God's blessings to you always!

How long has it been?  You need to report it.  Regardless of whether you said no or not, 15 is definitely not old enough to legally consent to sex with anyone--much less an adult who should know better.

YES.  15 is NOT old enough to consent.  doesn't matter if you liked it or not and you need to report him to the police.  he should be in jail and reporting him will help other victims of his.  i am sure you were not the only one.  so sorry this happened to you.  i hope you report and get counseling. even if you don't feel like you need it.
