Please Pray......

[TheBlondOne]

for a close friend's girlfriend who was raped this morning. It was by her boss at work. I guess my friend knew it was coming, and had been wanting his girlfriend to quit...but now the damage has been done and it's too late.

Please pray that the man gets prosecuted and that the girl (Elizabeth) finds peace somehow.

By the way, if anyone has advice about what to do/say in this kind of a situation, I would greatly appreciate it. Right now I feel very helpless.

That is awful news! It makes me sad to know that there are such people in the world . I hope the man gets what he deserves. And I hope your friend recovers from this horrible ordeal.

I'm sorry, I'm really at a loss of words here. I don't know what to say.

 

[Czar]

thats awful
I hope the guy gets worse than he deserves
and I hope your friend recovers soon

I wish I could say something to cheer you up, but I think a witty remark here wouldn't really be appropriate. I'll keep your friend in my thoughts. Has the man been arrested yet?

 

[IGBT]

Sad story..I hope she recovers. If there's evidence and /or witnesses, because of the violence in the workplace laws, and sexual harassment laws, that were violated, a lawyer should be able to build a case for tall jail time and any and all money this monster has.
Good luck.

 

[Koing]

I hope your friend recovers and finds peace...............

 

[ThePresence]

That's terrible. Throw the bastard behind bars for the next century.

 

[Wolfsraider]

that is dreadful,and i hope justice is swift.

this is not easy to overcome for most. understand their silence to their friends.show them smiles and don't change toward them as they are both hurting and dealing with this.offer your help by shopping etc as they will not be facing the world so to speak until they find their way thru this.or offer to take them out to dinner to get them out of the house or bring it to them if its too early but let them set the pace.

call them every couple of days just to chat

they are in my prayers

 

[Jeffwo]

My heart goes out to your friend. I will remember her in my prayers.

Just stay close to her. She needs a friend she can lean on right now.

Please Pray......

Will do Sarah
I don't have any really good advice, sorry. Just be yourself and try to be a good friend. Of course it seems you are doing that already.

 

[Hammer]

The boss can be charged with so many things both criminally and civilly. The sexual harassment laws will include the company as well so they be liable, and this whole thing happened on company property. You friend will defintely need to talk with a lawyer because it so unusual.

I feel for you friend and wish her a speedy recovery. With the help and support of her friends and family, I'm sure she will be alright. As for the guy, don't worry about him, he's not getting away with anything.

 

[bugsysiegel]

That's terrible, I hope the guy goes to jaiil and finds out what it's like to be on the receiving end.

I sincerely hope your friends' lady is ok.

 

[Platypus]

Well praying is out, but she will be in my thoughts and I hope that sick bastage gets what he deserves, a federal pound me in the ass prison

I'm very sorry. Of course I will pray for her recovery and for the most extreme justice for the slime that did it.

One of the most important things to tell her is that it is NOT her fault. Make sure she understands that. Too many rape victims do not acknowledge this.

 

[Geekbabe]

She'll be in my thoughts

 

[WA261]

sorry to hear that...will pray

 

[pillage2001]

Sigh.....

Has she press any charges on him?

 

[Spooner]

That's just awful. I've actually had friends who have been harrassed in the workplace, but never had a boss "go through with it" so to speak.

I'm very sorry for Elizabeth.

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

<< Please Pray...... >>



Consider it done.

That's a horrible thing to happen to a person.

I'm certainly no expert on the subject but here are a few thoughts that come to mind:

What she really needs right now is the support (not pity) of the people close to her.
Whenever you talk to her just be yourself, try not to be patronizing.
She must be assured that it isn't her fault and that all the feelings she's having are normal.
You should never tell her that you know how she feels (because you don't), or that everything's all right (because it most definitely isn't).
Don't pressure her to discuss the event, she may not want to talk about it for a long while but whenever she does (regardless of what time of day it is) someone should be there to listen.
You can help her regain some feeling of control over daily life if you let her decide how you should help her, don't make any major decisions on her behalf.

You should try to contact a sexual assault crisis center, they'll have lots of good advice to give.

I truly hope that she recovers and is able continue living normally.

 

[Ameesh]

Make sure she gets some sort of therapy, its very important for her in the long term to talk it out with a profesional, there are a lot of free services that she can goto. Remeber to be supportive this will be a very hard and confusing time for her. (my roomate was a rape counseler, this is just some genreal advice she gave me)

My thoughts and best wishes are with her.

 

[Maggotry]

I had an old gf that was attacked by her boss. She wasn't raped but he did other stuff to her that won't be repeated here. I have an idea of how bad you feel for your friend and I'll be thinking of you both.

 

[JohnCU]

I hope they castrate the son of a bitch. :|

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

dang...that is bad stuff. I hope she rallies back soon so she can send that guy to the bighouse.
