Screw them. They aren't worth a second thought. What matters is your courage to name the culprit. This will give strength to other victims.

People asking for proof know at the back of their minds that sexual assault usually leaves no evidence (it does but due to the psychological aspect of the crime, it's rarely reported immediately). These people have usually historically sided with oppressors and the powerful.
