Its a hard topic as I'm writing this a girl got strangled minutes ago and forced to oral a guy. The thing is it's not the first time. He gets in and closes door and grabs her neck right away. doesnt donate of course and is violent. I know three girls in Ottawa who are the victims, I have his face photos too. The girl this morning was hit by him about 3 times. 2 times in her former apartment and today in a hotel. She closed her apartment because of him and 2 other guys who keep sneaking back in. any suggestions on how I, or we, can help her? reward perhaps? i got his pic and i have little value in money. Is this topic even allowed here? if its not allowed ill delete it immediately and find another way.
First, how she wants to handle this situation is her choice. When handling a situation like this it’s best to give the power back to the victim and give them as much support as possible either through going to the police or providing other resources.
It’s completely understandable if she chooses not to report and there should be no pressure or judgment on her on how she decides to proceed.
If she’s comfortable, please tell her to get in touch with either myself (

We have resources to support each other when a member of our community has been assaulted.
Even though this industry can sometimes feel isolating when you don’t have access or know how to find your community here in Ottawa, she is NOT alone.
