My friends are friends with the guy who did it to me

Need Advice

I was SA'd over five years ago, right before the pandemic. It doesn't bother me much- my life is pretty normal since then in fact, I'm over it (almost). Where I live, everyone knows what happened to me. It's in fact a topic of gossip. But everywhere I go, every friend I make, I see everyone hanging out with him, like it's nothing. I want to confront them, and I surely will once I get the guts. But I can't get over the fact that people who know about it treat it like it's nothing. I have even heard responses like "Why didn't you co-operate?" (seriously, wtf?), "Please show me his face, I want to see him!" (says excitedly).

The problem is these are the only friends I have in my neighbourhood (atm). I can't think logically. Should I confront them and forget about it if they co-operate or cut them off?

P.S.: I'll delete this later.
