❓ Frequently asked

It happened years ago

Help and counselling are available regardless; limitation periods for reporting are long and in many countries do not run for minors until adulthood.

I knew the person / I had been drinking

None of that changes what it was or your rights. Consent cannot be given when incapacitated.

Will I have to face them in court?

Special measures — video testimony, screens, no direct questioning by the accused — are standard for these cases. Ελληνική Εταιρεία Προστασίας Θυμάτων / Εισαγγελία — Γραφείο Θυμάτων arranges it.
