Like I'd be, you know, I'd be bitter.

I'd be like, no, fuck you.

I'm going to get you.

But I can see, like, why for some people it's just not... One, it's just not an option.

And two, like, they just think, I can't put myself through this.

Like, and I totally can understand that.

And I also had the comfort of, like, I knew I had been to SATU, so I knew there would be medical evidence.

I knew the guards had gotten to the house, so...

I was like lucky you know they were the things I had to comfort myself that I have some concrete evidence there's so many people going into cases where it's like he says she says and you think how are you going to prove that yeah and how could you face that like that is soul-destroying

there is success in it yeah that can be successful yeah you can actually get to a finish point with this yeah 100% and like that was like the main reason for me waiving my anonymity at the end of the trial was because I had spent so long like I could nearly tell you every sentence of every rape case in the country because I used to study them like at night when I was waiting for my trial I used to read like the court reports I'd look up the court dates I was such a freak like

and read all the reports and I knew everything about them because I just needed to feel in control or be able to kind of guess what was going to happen.

I had never been to a Garda station.

I had never been in court.

I didn't know how any of that worked and it was so overwhelming.

I felt like the biggest idiot in the room.

I was the only person who didn't know what was going on, how these things worked.

And you're always the last one to find out, you know, that sort of way.

But like with those cases, it was never somebody that you could be like, oh, she got there or she was my age or, you know, and and it happened for her.

And that's the fellow who did it to her, you know.

And I just thought that's what like I would have taken great comfort in that and seeing somebody like, OK, there is actually people who do get there with this.
