Im not makeing ths story up this really happened to me. I was raped by some people at college a (girl and a boy) , right in the corridor infront of a croud of people and their friends filmed it. No teachers have been told yet and if they have, nothings being done. They said if I go to the police they will come to my house and gang rape me. they also said that will happen if I dont eat out the girl who did it before college ends. They know what my adress is. and I have a really bad feeling that no teachers have done anything because they have been threatened by the girls family, but that could just be paranoia. Its her and her six brothers who will apparently come to my house.
anyway, will something like a restraining order protect me from these people, I dont care if theyre not punished I just want to feel safe again.

go to the police or tell someone you trust. you've got to stand up for yourself.
*hugs*
i almost guarantee if you went to the police it would be an 'empty threat'. they would be arrested, evidence gathered such as the 'video phone' and witness statements, since you said lots of people saw what happened. they probably would not be given bail esp. so if she does have 'history' which automatically protects you from them, they would most likely remain in custody so you would be safe from them. from what you said it sounds as though there is a good amount of evidence which can be collected in your favour. its also a criminal offense to intimidate somebody, let alone rape them.
how long ago did it happen?
All I can say is how sorry I am for you and how awful it must be. How old are you also?
at the end of the day they don't deserve to get away with it.
also, it might sound like a dumb question, but how sure are you that the flashbacks are accurate? have you told anyone else besides these boards?
Don't be scared by their intimidation, their doing it because they know if their found out their gonna be in a world of shit. If you report it to the police they won't be able to hurt you again, but while they are still roaming then streets they can.
Have a look at this from TheSite Reporting A Rape
fuck your revision. at the end of the day its entirely understandable why you cannot concentrate on it. if you were to inform you college what has happened to you i'm sure they would be understanding.
were you a virgin? - you should definitely do a pregnancy test, and also think about getting tested for any STDs.
i know there is a lot for you to think about right now but try and stay on top of it.
did you tell you gp what happened?
tbh there isn't any different advice your going to get from anyone, everyone will tell you that the best thing to do is to report it. if your dr was the first person you told that also makes her an important witness. you're right she won't break confidentiality as you are 20 years old but you could ask her to break confidentiality if you did want to report it or if you didn't feel brave enough to do it all by yourself.
unless you make it official by reporting it to the police i would doubt the 'college authorities' would do anything. i would think in order for them to so anything they would refer it to the police. they are not bound by confidentiality like your dr. they might regard the threats as bullying but what has happened to you is a serious criminal offense and requires the proper authorities to do something about it - that being the police not your college. i'd also assume from what you have said if the college authorities were to take any form of action, you'd be in greater danger, the college cannot protect you except during the hours you are in college unlike the police.
