question regarding pocso and sexual assault
i am 16 years old, planning to file a case against my brother (23m as of today) he has sexually assaulted me from ages 6 to 12, 3 times a week. when i turned 13 he got disgusted of me and stopped assaulting me. i don’t have money and am unable to sue him, so i will do that when i am 25 and have completed my degree. i have told my mother, my father about this in august of 2024, but they have completely ignored the event as if it never happened. even worse is ki my brother is claiming i assaulted HIM, and my father got an ips officer (his connections) to tell me i will face grave consequences if i file a “fake” POCSO case. what should i do? i cannot in good conscience go on in life and eventually have a child myself or start a family with the knowledge that i let someone get away with raping me.
what is the procedure to even start this case? do i just go to the police when i feel like it? i had proof of a call recording where he was sobbing and admitted to raping me, but they stole my phone and deleted it. what proof should i have? what is the chance i will even be able to win this case since my parents are hell bent on protecting HIM because ruining their reputation feels like death to them
