Athena V Brothers (3)

I have three brothers (two blood brothers and one foster brother who is my biological cousin) that have all sexually assaulted and battered or raped me at one time or multiple times in the past.

My older brother, Bing Karim Juman told me several times in the past that he was raped by my foster sister, Nicole Marie Fisk. I was always sympathetic to him and would cry thinking about it. I had a mental breakdown in December 2022, and I told him that I didn't believe him.

When I got out of the hospital, I went over to his house and he said, "I know you don't believe me about Nicole and this is the only time I'm ever going to admit this: I used to do the same thing to you."

Sometime in 2016, my younger brother, Nehru Karim Juman was going through a mental health crisis and smacked me on my left boob. When I became upset, he began to ridicule me saying, “Wow, now you’re going to tell everyone.”

In 2021, my foster brother, Drew Robert Fisk flashed his erect dick at me. In 2023, while he was at a residential program, he sent me a picture of his erect penis and told me to "send nudes." He also talked on the phone about wanting to be with me romantically forever.

Last year, I told my mom what my older brother, Bing, told me. She was cooking and stopped what she was doing, looked up, but didn't look me in the eye, she looked passed me and said, "I don't think so."

I pushed these memories far down until Friday, September 20, 2024. I was taking a walk with Drew Robert Fisk and he wouldn't stop touching me. He kept putting his arm around me and I would brush it off, then he would put it back. He kept putting his head very close to mine. At one point, we were sitting in the car and he was rubbing my thigh. We went to Jamba Juice and he just kept touching my arm. I felt trapped and every time I would make a move to get away from him, he would make a move to get closer to me. I was text messaging with my ex-girlfriend, and she told me that I needed to tell him to stop, so I did. He stopped.

I was triggered by his actions and memories came back to me. I spent the next two days crying non-stop.

In my opinion, there shouldn’t be a statute of limitations on physical and sexual crimes against persons. I don't think it's fair to victims. Sometimes the memories are pushed far down for years until triggered, sometimes victims don't want to speak up until years later, and there are countless other reasons. Whatever the case, victims should be allowed to speak up and receive justice at the time of their choosing, not at the limitation of some arbitrary statue.
