My answer was no, but I was lucky to avoid it. As it seems that there is confusion as to what that might entail, I will describe the situation that I am referring to.

When I was 13, my sister was good friends with the Mexican gang that hung around our neighborhood. I should mention that I lived in a bad part of town at the time. She brought home her current boyfriend (he was in the gang).

I was home alone when she got there, as both my parents were at work. I am not sure what led up to it, but for some reason this guy thought that he should have sex with me. This was a pretty stupid thing to think since I was still a virgin and definitely wasn't going to sleep with my sister’s boyfriend! Anyway, he started to try to push himself on me, so I told him to get away from me and I went in my room.

He followed me through the house and tried to push the door open when I went in my room. Since I didn't trust him I locked the door. It was lucky I did because started pounding on the door, telling me to let him in. I obviously didn't comply, and after about 30 minutes he gave up. I didn't come out until my parents got home. My sister would have been raped by this guy if she hadn't been willing, I am sure. (She might have been anyway.) He did the same thing to one of my friends who had come over looking for me one day, and the only way she escaped was to lock herself in my room.

To put it mildly this guy was very violent, and I wouldn't doubt for a second that if I hadn't removed myself from the situation he would have raped me. I was most shocked by the fact that my sister didn't stop him! She would have been a witness to this! But… I think she was scared of him. Now that I think about it she might not have even been dating him, he might have just forced her into a relationship. I don’t know. But all of the gang members seemed to have issues with women and tended to be very violent.

Does that make it clear? And I didn’t put myself in this situation; I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was always careful where I went and who with because I didn’t trust most people.
