I (18f) Was Raped By My Friend (16m)

Location: Lane County, Oregon

This past halloween (2025) I was drinking with my friends after we had gotten back from a house party. We had arrived at 1ish am and I was up drinking until roughly 4am. However my rapist had stopped drinking at the party. I went to sleep, and woke up in pain to my friend actively raping me. There was a lot more than happened before , but When I went to sleep he had already been asleep, or was pretending to be. Happened in a room full of 5 other people while they were sleeping aswell. Fast forward a few days I went to the hospital and got a rape kit done, bloodwork, put on meds, and later opened up a case and gave my statements and all. All my friends have given their statements and are on my side and agreed that they watched me fall asleep and that I was drinking. I had posted something telling my friends what had happened as he was a very known person and I wanted people to hear it from me because he was telling people numerous stories that were all very wrong. Through that post another girl had came out and said that he had sexually assaulted her and offered to talk to the detective to see if it would help my case to show this is repetitive behavior. And one of my other friends said she would wake up to him rubbing on her, but i’m not sure if she told the detective that when she gave her statement as she was one of the people who were asleep in the room that night. As of right now I have only been told there was “a lot of evidence” and that my rapist had been arrested but released on bail/ out because he’s a minor. Mind you I had just turned 18 on Oct 22nd 2025. The last update I got was at the beginning of January stating that his arrest reports were sent to the district attorneys office and that they tend to take a long time because he’s a juvenile.

I guess my question or questions are , Does anyone know roughly how long this can take? Should I be looking into getting an attorney? If court happens, Would I be able to bring people in that are not family? Would I have to go in front of him and other people and give my statement? Is it possible for ME to get in trouble? I just feel very lost and scared right now because it seems to be quite complicated due to the fact that I am now an “adult” and he is a juvenile.

I don’t know if this adds to anything , but during 2025 he had already gotten 2 charges for stealing from 2 different stores. Someone told me it could help on my part if he already has a record but i’m not sure. Thank you.
