I went to my bishop to ask for support as i filed a rape case against my rapist from 10 years prior. My bishop said i had to tell him every detail of my experience so he could make sure i repented for my sins. I told him i did nothing wrong and i would not talk to him about it. Then he asked me about my rapist. The next meeting he said he contacted the bishop of my rapist and they were going to send someone to check on him and his welfare. I was absolutely distraught. This jeopardized my safety, they didn’t ask my permission to contact him and they weren’t interested in protecting me but rather his being saved.
