[Serious] Groomed online at 15 by 23M. Should I just drop this and move on? I’ve heard Indian law doesn’t do much — criminals get bribed and walk free. But I also don’t want anyone else to go through this.

I am 17 now. When I was 15, a 23-year-old man (software engineer, claims to study law) manipulated me into sexual video calls for two years. He has over 100 photos and videos of me. My parents know but I cannot bring this up with them again.

**One thing that kept me trapped:** He convinced me we were special because we belong to the same caste. He said that meant we could eventually get married, so what we were doing was okay — it was “love” with a future. I believed him. That is how he kept me in it for so long.

I am torn between two choices:

**Option 1:** Just drop it. Forget it happened. Move on with my life — focus on college, work, and being normal.

**Option 2:** Try to do something so he doesn’t do this to another girl.

But I have no faith in the system. I’ve heard that in India, police take bribes and criminals walk free. Why would my case be any different?

At the same time, I keep thinking — what if he finds another 15-year-old, especially from the same caste, and uses the same “we can marry” lie? What if someone else goes through what I went through?

also i do not want to disclose my identity anywhere or even have to talk to someobody.. i will be turning 18 this year, will this case even get any attention once i become an adult and it becomes something that happened years ago

i have evidence but in most of it i seem comf and flirting with him.. the ones where i was clearly not comfortable were on insta and he deleted those.
