Dear Bill:

You are welcome. I asked if you know anything about his life since that event because I was wondering if he hurt other people like he hurt you (and if you could do anything about preventing him from hurt others).

You mentioned confronting him- maybe you should, so to do what you didn’t do during that event or after- to let him know what he did wrong, and to let him know that he hurt you. It may give you some peace of mind to confront him, and maybe, just maybe because you confront him- he will be less likely to repeat the same behavior and hurt more people.

* I still see no reason to tell your parents or aunt about what happened, because once you tell them, you can’t un-tell them, they will always remember and be burdened by this information, and I imagine that it will make you feel worse, not better.

If you want to prepare for such a confrontation by posting what you intend to tell him, please do so and I will give you my input on it.
