10 years ago, I was r**ed by an underage boy I was supposed to be looking after, and his mom intimidated me into keeping quiet.

I had been asked to look after a house overnight while the parents were away. There were several kids, the family was rich. I put the kids to bed then sat down with a coke. The oldest boy came down for something and I went to the kitchen to get it for him. I believe that was when he roofied or put some other drug in my drink.

Next thing I know, I'm vomiting all over the carpet, I have a horrible headache. It's 5 am but I'm still on the sofa. Thats when I noticed my panty was in a knot and my capris not fixed up. I could feel a dull ache, and when I felt the dry residue, I knew what had happened.

At first I was terrified that someone had come in. I ran around checking the doors and windows, no sign. I went to check on the kids, they were all asleep. Then I locked myself in the bathroom and stupidly, as I know now, washed myself. I wasn't crying, but I was shaking all over. I was in the bathroom for hours till one of kids knocked and said she was hungry.

When I went out, I started on breakfast and called the mom (my second mistake) she said she was coming back right away. When the oldest boy came down, he just looked at me in this shamefaced way and it hit me. I left breakfast and locked myself in my room. A little later, the mom came back and banged on my door. I let her in and just managed to tell her what happened. She began yelling at me about how stupid I was and it must have been a burglar or something.

She shook me and slapped me, I was so terrified I could only curl up and protect myself. She then locked me in the room and called her lawyer. When the lawyer came, she brought in a paper and said I couldn't leave until I signed it. It was a sworn affidavit that I had brought a man to the house and had sex with him, and breached my duty of care to the children. I refused but the lawyer threatened me, the mom came in and screamed at me. I gave in and signed it and just ran.

I've moved away and put all of that behind me now. I'm not angry at the kid, he was just brought up with too much money and bad company. I hope he found some way to atone for it and make his peace. But I truly believe now that women are women's worst enemies, and we all should be aware we're on our own in this world.
