Buster, I am constitutionally disinclined to engage adversarially with you about sex abuse precisely because you are a victim. I do not mean this in any patronizing way, but rather as a respectful sympathy for your personal experience, and thus an expertise that I lack. 

That said, there are I suggest two things that should be distinguished--(1) the degree to which sexual trauma victim may have their freedom of action compromised by the psychological effects of their abuse, and (2) sexual abuse victims motives for seeking justice decades later in civil versus criminal court. 

You appear to reject the notion that some (most?) sex abuse victims are so traumatized by their experience that they have their God-given human freedom compromised to such a degree that they should not be expected to act as a fully free human being might be expected to act. Am I correct in assessing your perspective? If yes, then I disagree wholeheartedly.
