point and he grabbed her by the rest. Victim

There was a group of about 20 men with two in
the middle fighting them on. The two were
fighting with knives. Victim made an effort to
avoid them but they noticed. The two with
knives came at victim and the others were
cheering them on. There were shouting at
victim asking if they were a boy or a girl, calling
them things like "dyke", "it". They made swipes
at victim with the knives but missed on
purpose, they decided they "find out if victim
had a dick or tits" by ripping off their shirt.

intact, ran home and they followed victim half
way and stopped when they saw victim put a
key in the door.

Victim was trying to help a friend of their
partner's off the couch and into their bed when
they were very drunk. This person on the way
there groped victim, pushed them into the
spare room victim was staying in and down
onto the bed, then pulled down their shorts.
This person kept saying things like "I've never
had someone like you before" and "you have a
pretty girl cock" and other disturbing and
unwanted "compliments" while putting their
mouth on victim’s genitalia forcefully. After
asking them to stop over and over they
eventually did. Victim is still to this day in
therapy to deal with it and lost their partner
because of it all.
