You can definitely still speak to the police if you decide you want to report this Aly. If you want to talk it through with someone beforehand, you can call the Rape Crisis Scotland helpline any night between 6pm and midnight. The number is 08088 01 03 02. It's free and completely confidential.

I've also bn thru this horrible situation, i would recomend u contact SAVI- sexual assault victims initiative in east kilbride, as thats who i am working with 0800 622 6986 - as i think 14weeks is too long for you to wait for your own support worker, they can help you with everything regarding your assault, and even go to police with you. please consider it. j. Take Care. xx
