I certainly do not condone relationships with a minor, but after watching Abigail Simon’s testimony I understand how this can happen. Something similar happened to me. While the abused in my situation was not a minor, I can imagine that if it was, I wouldn’t know that I would do anything differently. I too was controlled and did things against my will out of fear. I went along with it for months just as Abigail did, not because I was in love or lusted for this man, but because he had threatened me and my husband’s life. Yes, I was married. It of course rejoined my marriage. At times I would tell myself that I had to go along to protect my husband’s life. I felt like I loved him enough to endure the abuse of it meant saving his life. I was completely convinced that we were both in danger. Someone looking at photos or texts would not believe that I was being manipulated because when you are fearful you often will go along with things you may not want to just to keep things calm. I see no reason why a 15 year old may not be capable of this kind of control. When I heard Abigail’s testimony I felt some kind of relief that it wasn’t just me. I’m not the only one who’s life had been destroyed in this way. I felt as though no one else could understand how that could happen. In her testimony I heard my own story and would like to express my support to Abigail. Is there any way to send her a letter?

You’re insane. For obvious anatomical reasons, women can’t commit rape in the pure and literal sense of the word.

Michael, I completely agree with you about every post you’ve made regarding Abigail. How do you know her? Are you a friend, family member etc..? I want to help this girl.
