This group has helped tremendously and Rick is really a great guy. This was the first of many groups that I joined on MySpace and have found solace there. It is important that we keep seeing positive things like this on the news to know that it is okay to talk about things such as sexual assault and that people are still doing good things in the world despite the bad. Thank you for posting this in the paper. I believe that all sexual assault survivors that read this article found comfort in seeing that people really do care. I know I did. Jessica

It's really nice to have a page that I can go to and express how I feel were no one will be judgmental about it because almost all of them have had to deal with the same situation, more or less. It's really great that he takes his own time out of his buisy scheduals to help people that were traumatized, and I really appreciate all he's done for this.

Bob wrote on Feb 21, 2007 1:11 PM:Thanks for the website. I just found out that my 23 yr old nephew was raped at the age 15 by an older and much larger man. My nephew has had a messed up life ever since. I asked my sister (his mother) about his destructive behavior and was told of the rape. He was embaraased and didn't want anyone to know but has confided to his mother that the rape occured and has tormented him psyhcologically. I was told that the man has raped numerous teenagers in this town and all are afraid to come forth. It is a small town in western NY where violence, drugs and poverty are rampant. I am a Chritian man and feel rage at the thought of what this has done to my nephew and want to try to bring this individual to justice. Is there anything that could be done to corral this guy and bring him to justice. I am 400 miles away and need some advice or suggestions. Thanks. Please send a response if you wish

I go to a school, where there is about 20 people from the Middle East. We think that we don't get a lot of support (I know its not a lot), but in the Middle East, girls can get mordered for being raped. Rick, I just wanna let you know that you have a done a great job, people like you make victims like me wanna keep on living!

Kudos to you for reporting on a brave person - and if there is anything I can do to help - I will - I remember what it was like - 16 years old - and no support - so now as an adult I help where I can. By the way the CCS in San Diego is great. I am a volunteer there.

kelsey wrote on Nov 19, 2007 2:59 PM:i think what you have done is very wonderful but how do you know that this website is not another way for sex affenders to talk to people. most of these people want someone to talk to and what happens if they start talking to the wrong person. this is also a good way for them to attract children or even older people. they need someone to lean on for help and someone could easily pretend that they are a friend. do you understand where i am coming from. i am coming from experience because i have too been sexually assualted. i met the man over the internet he pretended to be 15 and made up stories to make him sound like he was a nice 15 year old guy. this happened a while ago but i would never want someone to have to go through what i went through.

Kaitlynn wrote on Jan 16, 2008 11:19 AM:hey i think this site is great. i mean i totally agree with you. most cases are not reported because people dont believe them. im just happy that people out there actually care about rape and rape victims. i mean i never thought that it would happen to me or anyone i know. but infact it happened to one of my really good friends. and it really does happen and it could happen to you. i just hope that everyone stays safe and aware that it is out there. and i just wanted to say thank you again.

kaitlin wrote on Mar 26, 2008 11:59 AM:Hey, I love your site...it's personally so awesome and helpful for me.I was raped a few years ago....I thought my life would never be the same again. And I still do. But I just want to thank you for caring so much to make this site, just to help others, make a differnce in this world. I think you are so down to earth and just so grounded and caring!

Katie wrote on Apr 13, 2008 10:43 AM:I just love to know that theres people out there that do care. May God bless all the victims of this horrible thing. And may he bring peace to your minds and your bodys. And thanks for caring sooo much.!.!

all i am trying to say is that if a 3 yr old child can tell on her own father and get over the fear of him hurting her agian then maybe all of the other girls and boys can come forward to tell their story infront of the judge.
