Police Officer Gave My Address To My Father Who Threatened To Sexually Assault Me

Location: old forge, Pennsylvania

Apologies for the ramble, it’s my first time posting on Reddit. I really don’t know what to tag this as so I chose the best I could. Everything I’m about to say took place over the course of one day, me and my siblings are moving out of an abusive household for the first time and my parents are doing everything they can to ensure we lose our jobs and housing and go homeless. Yesterday in the early AM, an argument broke out where my father threatened to rape me and my mother called the cops accusing us of stealing the belongings that we’re taking with us and when the cops came, I explained to him that my dad threatened to rape me and I have video evidence, the cop told me not to tell him my whole life story and instructed me not to show him the video. He was completely terrible, very demeaning for no reason and it felt like the twilight zone so I left and called the cops again asking for a different officer, they told me no other officer could come and when I returned he started bullying me some more about my “false reports to the police”

He told us we could only take one more trip during our move and we can come back tomorrow and when my sister left to take another load to our new apartment, THE COP FOLLOWED AND THEN RETURNED BACK AND TOLD MY PARENTS WHERE WE LIVE. We are all over the age of 18, I told this officer that my dad said he was going to rape me and this officer followed us and told my parents our address. My sister confronted him on video and he said that it’s public information and that he didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to but he was clearly having an attitude towards me and my sister the whole time, he insulted her car even, it was so weird. He told me that he never comes twice and if we call again, one of us is getting arrested as in one of me and my siblings, not my parents who threatened to rape me and called to begin with talking about how we’re robbing them when we aren’t.

On the same day when we were all moved out, I see my dads location and it’s coming towards my new apartment and I’m home alone, I call my brother and I’m terrified of calling the cops because I live in a small town and I don’t want to see that man again, I call anyway and tell them what’s going on, I’m crying and I think I explained to them that the last cop told them our address, another cop comes and my brother runs home from work to talk to them so I don’t have to.

To recap, abusive parents, mother has sexually assaulted me on a daily basis in the past, and my father has just said he’s going to fuck me and the cops refused to see evidence and then told them where I live and my parents came to my house the same day. Cops said they’re trespassed from our apt and that we’re trespassed from their house but we didn’t even complete moving, but if need be, that’s fine we don’t NEED to go back plus they will just lie and say we’re stealing again.

This felt like a fever dream, can I take any legal action? If so would it be possible to stay anonymous? I don’t want that footage of me from his bodycam ever being public. Whatever the case may be, please let me know the next steps. Moving was supposed to feel safe but now that the cops told them my location, I don’t even feel safe at home anymore.

Extra unnecessary context: this move was planned a couple months back when my dad (a felon with 2 under charges in the past, served 12 or so years) got a gun and threatened to kill most of my family plus himself, I destroyed the gun and a month of harassment for this gun ensued, every day he’d demand it back and threaten calling the police but I knew I was fine cause he’s the one who shouldn’t legally own one anyway. They’ve put us all in credit card debt (haven’t reported that yet) and my older sister was the first to move out, when she did they also did the same to her (trying to mess up her life and make her lose her job with the explicit goal of her being homeless) idk if any of that is useful info, I’m just letting you know that they are terrible and this
