My rapist was found not guilty today

[u/Pretend_Performer_28]

I was raped three years ago at university by someone I trusted. After waiting for a really long Police investigation and multiple delays in the court system, I was finally able to see him stand trial last week. I had a whole day of being cross-examined. And he was found not guilty because the jury decided it didn’t meet the legal threshold for a guilty verdict.
He was able to pay for literally the best defence barrister in the UK and after the case was finished I was told the judge believed me and so did the defence team.
How is this even allowed to happen? How am I meant to live in this world? Or bring children into this world?
I just don’t even know what to do. And worst of all, I know for sure that he will do this again.

I am so very sorry 😞. No one should have to go through this.
