5. If you were underage, I don't see how they can make an issue ofyour behavior to excuse the pedophile

This is how I would proceed:
I would consult with an attorney; find one who has represented victims like you in the past. That may not be the easiest thing to do but go to an attorney who can make a referral. He/she might have to do some research to find a good referral for you.

I would also research what the age of consent was when you were subjected to abuse. If you were of age, you may be out of luck but ask an attorney to be sure. There might be special circumstances such as the person being in a position of authority, such as a teacher or priest.

Good luck!
