If that's the case, I hope he can come to terms with it one day and heal from it as best as anyone could, in that situation.

That said working with rape elimination projects is worthwhile and cathartic, that might be his coping strategy? If he feels he's preventing this happening to others he can deal with it.

...this is really very sad and something that I’m just just beginning to read about atm...the amount of male rape victims, which is said to be 1 in 10 of all rapes being males...I think those are USA statistics and I’m not sure how current ...we know how difficult it is for females and why so many assaults/rapes etc don’t get reported at all..because of the added justice system ‘assault’ and the too often judgements from society etc...but it would seem that males sexual assaults and rapes really are ‘the silent victim’...very sad...
