My partner/friend/relative is having a difficult time dealing with this. Is there an organisation he/she can get help from?
A. Your partner can also access support here at the Rape Crisis Centre. We understand that this can also be a very difficult time for partners, friends or family members and we can offer support plus some written materials. This part of our service is open to men and we often support non abusing partners, fathers, mothers, sisters etc. Q. I want to report to the police but I think it was all too long ago … A. It is possible to report cases of historical abuse/rape to the police but there may be some additional difficulties due to the nature of Scots Law and the need for corroborating evidence – which is usually forensic. However, if you feel you would like to discuss this with a police officer, you can get support from Rape Crisis to do this. You may also be able to see the police at the Rape Crisis Centre, but this would have to be arranged and agreed in advance.
