Lack of Justice

Advice requested

2 years ago, I took a massive leap in reporting my abuser for CSA. I was in a vulnerable place and scared and allowed the detective in charge of it to convince me not to use the advocacy center that was willing to take my report and send it out to the police. I was 21, and had no idea what I was doing. I made the report with the local police department here, who sent it to the correct department since I currently live 2+ hours away from where it happened. I went there, got “interviewed” and waited 2 months for the detective to reach back out and tell me that no chargers will be brought against the perp because he quite literally said “I didn’t do it.” He didn’t question my mother or her friend who knew of this happening. The abuse happened for nearly 5 years in three different cities and 2 different counties. The day the detective told me that despite the prosecutor believing me nothing will happen unless someone else says reports it, I’ve stalked casenet to see if someone else reported it. At least once I week I look. Hoping and praying I will finally get some justice for what happened to me and at the same time being so relieved to know that hopefully it hasn’t happened again. What else can I possibly do? I feel so stuck on this and getting justice might be the only way I can finally get “closure.” I’m in therapy currently but I have a hard time actually talking to it. Any advice would be helpful. I truly feel so stuck in it.
