Dear Madam/Sir,
I am adult survivor (aged 23 years). I was been abused sexually by my cousin brother when I was 10 years old.He abused me sexually by touching and licking my private parts.Its so disgusting and hurting for me.I was hopeless when he took to his room and abused me physically.
This pain is haunting me since many years.I have been threatened by him to not share this with anyone.I am traumatised and feeling hopeless.
I am planning to take legal action for the loss and pain I have gone through these years. These people should deserve punishment for their brutal acts.
How do I go about it? Please suggest me.

The incident(s) of alleged sexual harassment is stated to be 13 year old, without specific averment, no case is made out.
It would be better to forgive and forget such past as a bad dream.

Being a Child of 10 years you should have informed this to your parents or elders of your family or at least to your teachers or to your close friends or else you could have walked in to the police station.

Still you could file a Police Complaints with valid Medical Reports from Government Hospitals and Valid Report from Government Psychiatrist Doctors along with evidences if any.

Discuss with local Advocate or you could approach Free Legal Aid Forums in the concerned court.

I was shy and afraid to share these incidents with anyone.It took me this long to open up my issues.
Thank You for the help Sir.

Your complaint would teach a lesson not only to this particular Culprit but it would be warning to others also

Okay Sir.Thanks for uplifting my spirit and understanding my problem.
Sir, as I am new to these legal procedures, could you guide me how do I go about it in detail?
I have no prior knowledge as I have never faced any court so far. How do I find a local lawyer for my case?
