You're right...It does help to get it out...It's good to let everyone know that they weren't the only ones, so they won't think that it was somehow their fault, or because of something they did or said

I was constantly trying to get BloodyDesire to stop (she was 13 when she FIRST came here)...I warned her of the dangers...She persisted, until she left...Lots of people left after he 'messed' with them...I'm glad that those of you who stayed, decided to stay, even though it was very difficult

You guys have a lot of guts to come out and share these stories...And you're also helping other people by doing so...Not only are you helping victims, but you're also making it more difficult for the criminals to get away with this...They depend on SECRECY in order to do what they're doing...When all of their secrets are out in the open, they can't really continue to do this

I am saying this in the hope of shining a little humor and wisdom on this subject. DJ didn't mess with me much anymore after he met my "bitchy" side when I totally blew up at him on the phone. That was why we could remain friends, and why I picked on him on the forum (kind of as a reminder). So, the point is, don't be afraid to stand up to pervs like him online. And talking about it definately helps too. Get it out. It helps you and like Rayne said, it also makes it more difficult for them to get away with it if everyone knows about it.
