I was involved with a man I met online for almost a year. I discovered his name and identity were fake and that he was a lawyer. The law needs to change.

Which was worse, harmed you most? The cesspit evil violation, or your bosses betrayal of you for reporting it?
Both were equally devastating. His betrayal of my trust - there are no words. I never wanted anyone to know what he had done to me. CITB's insistence on calling me a liar, when I found the courage to tell, and making him the victim almost killed me.
I was sacked too for going public with my experience. Victim blaming is never ending in today’s society. This culture stops victims coming forward, abusers get away with it, mentally for them a green light to do it again. Victim blame is exacerbating this cycle of events.
People have tried to get me sacked since I went public. Luckily my bosses are humans.
My bosses were ignorant or bought
Mine was a headteacher who decided she knew what was better for me to ‘move on’ than myself or the counsellor I was seeing. She didn’t agree with me starting the petition and promoting it as it meant I wasn’t going to ‘get over it’.
I think we all "get over it" when we are ready and it is the right time for us
All whistleblowers receive same treatment, across all walks, truth is outlawed I’m afraid. People who don’t experience it have no clue as to the devastation it causes and therefore often won’t believe how widespread it is.
Very very true. I’ve experienced this across the education system not just this one incident.
