I'm surprised that, with a previous rape conviction on his record, he doesn't have some kind of sex offender designation.

Here something like this would probably take a year to get to trial.

He was convicted as a juvenile. Those records are sealed when the person turns 18.

The trial date is swift because of it being in municipal court.

This is not the first time I've been attacked, so I do question what exactly is going on that this continues to happen. I am also referencing how many people that I have interacted with in my life have been highly toxic and how many of these toxic people have caused me harm, either emotionally or physically.
