She basically was explaining them as someone that's

really just supposed to help me.

They will give you your next steps.

After the hospital, I called, I made an appointment with UVU's Title IX office.

This was the first thing that I did.

The detective hadn't called me yet.

Initially going into the meeting with UVU, I didn't bring anyone with me because I thought these people were there to help me.

I was very wrong about that.

I went into YouView's Title IX office and I went into a room with a man and a woman who was standing in the back.

I told him what had happened and I'm always putting on a brave face.

I am not really able to cry in front of people.

It's just not something that my body lets me do.

So I'm explaining it to him very matter of fact.

I was telling him, I don't know what the best route to go is.

I don't know if I should go talk to the police.

I don't know if I should just go talk to his family.

He proceeded to tell me that he didn't really think I had a case with police and that because I don't live on the UVU campus, there's not a lot that they can do for me.

They said because he was a University of Utah student that they didn't think it was necessary for anyone to walk me to my car to make sure that I was safe.

He kept telling me, you look like you're doing well.

And I remember being so hurt by that because I was dying inside and I needed so badly someone to help me.
