I need some help. I didn't wanna do in this way...

 

This 16-year-old girl from Florida has gone online hoping someone will hear her plea.

 

"Here I have to turn to this to make a video, to post on the Internet for somebody to hear me and help me coz' I was raped² by a 23-year-old man, and nobody wants to help me”

 

The Rape¹ Abuse and Incest National Network says more and more alleged³ sex abused victims whose cases never make it to court have been seeking justice online. But this is the first time a teenager has posted a video.

 

"All I’m asking for is someone out there in the world，anyone, anyone is watching this and listening to me. Please, please help me.”

"such a good girl”

 

This is the girl from that video Crystal. We are not using her last name. She told us she grew up with a troubled mother, and a father who was in and out of jail.

 

"I didn’t think I was gonna live to be 13. But I did. I have lived a really hard life and it's made me the person I am now.

 

Crystal says when she was 15, she met then 23-year-old Casey Mundling at a party. She recalls a night of drinking and doing drugs. Then she says she passed out.

 

"When I passed out in the middle of the night, and I wake up to a man and me, it’s not right.”

 

She says that first time turned into many more. And it only became harder for her to stay away from him.

 

"When I was telling him to stop, he’d whisper my ear that he love me, that he was always gonna to be there for me and I'm beautiful…”

 

But when her strange farther found pictures of Crystal posted on her Myspace page, posing with her 23-year-old boyfriend, he tracked her down. That’s when she told the Orange County sheriff's office about her relationship with Mundling.

 

"Are you telling the truth?”

 

"Yes. I’m telling the truth. He raped me and took advantage of me. And for those people who don’t believe me in the world, they don’t have to believe me.”

 

Last November, police arrested Mundling, for having sex with an underage girl. They charged him with lewd⁴ or lascivious⁵ battery. Crystal and her father thought the case would be prosecuted⁶ since Florida law states: "A 15-year-old cannot give consent to having sex." But then, just two weeks ago, Crystal learned her case was dropped.

 

"God, the day that they dropped my charges that I thought I was gonna die, I had an emotional breakdown⁷, I cried for hours.”
