I want you to know that for every person who goes to the tahitian pearls wholesale and/or the police, there are countless others who do not. It is a shame of wholesale love pearl but some survivors don't feel they can come forward without having to endure an attack on their character, an incorrect assumption that most people who cry rape are lying, and questioning or scrutiny by people over the actions of the victim as if some how it could be their fault. People who have been raped don't need you judging their actions of semi-precious stone jewerly, believe me they've done it themselves and they will for the rest of their life. If you're a survivor of rape I'm going to repeat again that it is - not your fault. I know no matter how many times you hear it or say it to yourself it's not an easy thing to believe.
