Child sexual abuse is an horrible thing and I have utmost sympathy and respect for genuine survivors...
BUT I find it very strange how this girl is suddenly posting all these sad stories about her self on social media (from depression to parents divorce and now this)...
Just saying, a top film star's daughter getting raped is hardly the same thing as any middle class or working class girl getting raped... the upper class don't have to fear police ignoring them, or culprits getting away through corruption, like any ordinary family in India would...
The only fear an elite upper class family would have that would prevent them reporting the abuse of their teenage daughter is "badnaami" which this particular girl and family are clearly not concerned about if they are now posting on her public Instagram account that she is a rape victim 😕
Hate to say it but this looks like peak attention seeking to me... the exact type of nonsense that makes it harder of real victims to handle things the right way (reporting to police)...
She didn't use the word "rape".
Sexual abuse can mean a lot of things, someone may get touched once. For eg - when I was 10, the sleeves of my tops were short, I was with my bro at a shop who was 4 years old. The shopkeeper, chit chatting touched my arm with his hands.. (he was feeling my entire arm). It took me a min to realise what he was doing. Another incident when someone put their hands inside my clothes in a crowded place and touched my breasts as a kid. Also, sometimes neighbourhood teenage boys pretending to play also touch inappropriately. Has happened with me sometimes & I remember it.
Though it was horrible, it did not make me depressed or PTSD. Such incidents are common in India & I find it hard to believe that no Indian girl has experienced something like this.
Also, I feel, if the victim is more comfortable in not filing a complaint they shouldn't be judged for that. Everyone has a different mental make up.
Does she mean things like this or was it something far more serious?
It could also mean, someone in the family touching her regularly - not private parts but just an excuse to touch... arms, feet, hands, or kiss on cheeks in an uncomfortable way.
It can also mean indecent exposure or more sexual activities with the kid, for a very long time.
Its really hard to comment on what the situation may have been with no details here..How serious or bad it was.
