I was sexually assaulted (groped) by a teacher 11 years ago in Wisconsin. I was 13 years old, naive, scared and never reported it. Now I feel extremely guilty knowing this creep is still a teacher and could have a decade's worth of victims just like me. I read up on my state's statute of limitations and I think I am still within the time frame to be able to do something about it. 

 I just need to know if I should be going straight to the police or if I should try and find a lawyer first. I am not interested in receiving any type of settlement whatsoever,  I just want there to be a record of his actions. I was assaulted on a class retreat and I witnessed him possibly assaulting another girl the day after I was attacked. I never confronted her or asked about it. I am hoping to contact her now, but we are complete strangers and I was hoping for some advice on how to go about that. 

I know it was incredibly dumb for me to not have reported anything when I was younger but I was honestly extremely confused and had convinced myself that it was an accident for YEARS. Any advice regarding taking action now would be appreciated!
