My stepdad was raped by a woman at twelve. He never ever got over it until the day he died. It would enrage him to hear that it was no crime and just 'offbeat'. He was twelve and not even interested in grown women but she raped him all the same. When he told on her, nobody cared and they told him to stfu and stop telling 'family business'. Sure, it was his aunt, but damn, even his own mama called him a 'sissy boy' for crying about being raped. Sad. He was super protective of me and helped me cope with my own abuses I had suffered.
Plenty of young boys get raped. It is because of men and women like Bill that they are too scared to say anything for fear of being made fun of, not being taken seriously, mocked... Bill is a shit. Always has been.
