I need some advice 🥺

I showed my therapist the conversation I had with the guy that groomed me and my friends. And the conversation my friend sent me.. I also told her about what he did..

Now, she asked if I’ve ever reported him, I said no, she then said that we’ll talk more about it next week, but that reporting him is an option, and specially since I have evidence..

I’ve never seen it as an option, cause it’s so long ago, and the thought of talking to the police literally gives me anxiety..

Also.. He has a kid now. What if I report and that ruins her life? And what if he’s changed, and actually is a good person now and then I ruin that. Aaaaand he’s tried to kill himself 7 times, one of them he blamed me for, what if he does it and it’s my fault..

My head is spinning..

And what can they even do?

The guilty party is him not you, in this.
There is a saying a leopard doesn't change his spots, by not acting you could actually be enabling him to do the same to another young girl time and time again.
Inform the authories about what you know about him let them decide what course of action they need to follow, you said he has a child she could be his next victim. I know a young woman whose own father raped her almost daily from the age of 16 and fiddled on her for several years before that.
