Alexis (Lexi) Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Hello, my name is Alexis. I am 16 years old. I was raped when I was 8 and I have been addicted to older men since then. I have been trying to get help for awhile but can't find the right help. So I was hoping to get some help on here? Edited March 7, 2020 by Capulet Removal of last name for added security.
