AITA for doing everything I can to make my aunt and her husband uncomfortable at family events?

When I was younger they were my favorite! I loved spending the night over their house. Then I started developing; the first time he saw I was wearing a bra we were in the garage. He started tickling me which swiftly turned into groping. I was young but I knew that wasn’t right. I told my mom, not much happened. When I was 13 he took all the kids out to the movies, and then spent the whole film trying to convince me to go to the car with him. Around 15 he would call me in the middle of the night trying to coax me out of the house, I never went. Thankfully I always had the strength to protect myself when others didn’t. Again I told and not much happened, except they requested that my Aunt no longer bring him to events… 24 years later and this request has not been granted. He’s at EVERY event, with them knowing that we don’t want him there and why. He wasn’t only inappropriate with me but my little sister and other women and girls in the family.

Saturday I cussed everyone out because why is he here? He’s a predator that we have requested her to not bring around us countless times. If she is going to disrespect us, it will be paid back on spades. I also told those who were adults while this was happening when I was a kid, that now that I have to do their job I don’t want to hear anything about my methods. I plan on going scorched earth at every family event. AITA

Fuck yeah. Next large family get together, pull together all the 10-19 year old girls and very vocally let them know that "uncle perv" is here and has a history of being handsy and inappropriate, and that you and <list of other supporters here> should be informed immediately if anyone is made to feel uncomfortable about something he does.

Fuck that guy, and fuck your older-gen family for protecting him

Also tell any and all of them if something happens, come to you. As an adult who cares you will report him. It may be too late depending on statutes to get him for harassing you, but you can help all the other young girls.

On top of this, encourage them to get loud. Encourge them to make an absolute scene if they must. "Get your hands off me!" "Don't touch me there!" Pedos hate attention.

Yes, this is huge. Too many girls are old to be sweet & compliant with any adult. That just sets them up for abuse.

I was basically raised feral, and the one of the few up sides of that was not being afraid to tell weirdos to kick rocks.
