Dear GhanaWeb: I was tricked into having group sex with my boyfriend and his three friends

Dear GhanaWeb,

During my second semester of Level 100 at university, I started dating a guy who was in Level 300, studying Real Estate Management. He was incredibly charming and made me feel special, so I fell for him quickly.

After our end-of-semester exams, he told me about a house party his friends were organising and invited me to come along. I was excited because I had never been to a house party before.

I was curious to see what it was like and wasn’t worried because I thought I would be safe with my boyfriend.

On the Friday morning before the party, I went to Madina to buy something sexy to wear. We left his hostel around 8 pm, and the party was in East Legon. When we arrived, I was amazed by how big and beautiful the house was, it even had a large pool.

By 10 pm, the house was packed, and the things happening around me were shocking. My boyfriend told me he had reserved a room, so we went there.

We drank a little, and then things started to get more intimate. As we were making out, someone suddenly entered the room, holding a phone and recording us.

He threatened to share the video unless my boyfriend allowed him to “have his way” with me. My boyfriend convinced me not to let the video be released, and, out of fear of my private moments being exposed, I agreed.

After that, three other guys took turns, also threatening to share the video unless I complied.

In total, I ended up being with four guys that night. I felt devastated and disgusted with myself. I told my boyfriend to order a ride for me, and I left immediately.

Once I arrived at my hostel, I confided in my close friend about what happened. She suggested that it might have been a setup by my boyfriend, as the situation didn’t seem right. After reflecting on her words, I realised she was making a lot of sense.

I confronted my boyfriend, and he didn’t deny it. That was the last time we ever spoke.

He later sent me a message apologizing, but the damage was already done. It’s been five years since that night, but I still can’t seem to get into a relationship.

I remember that day as if it happened just yesterday, and I’m terrified of trusting anyone again.

I want to move on, but I don’t know how. How do I heal from this?
