I live in the UK and I have a friend who's admitted to me that when she was roughly around the age of * to 16 years old, she was being abused by her family, bullied at school, as well as groomed online by older adult men. During this period she was isolated indefinitely for extensive periods of time. She also followed up and told me that she would record videos inside her school's changing rooms a handful of times and has been feeling an extensive amount of regret and grievance ever since. She told me that she wants to do something and is wondering what would happen if she were to disclose this to her authorities.
