Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I have a question. Back in 2014 I was molested by my cousin's boyfriend. I told him not to touch me and he touched me without my permission. My cousin's boyfriend got kicked out in March or April and now this year she is currently in the process of moving out. Back then I didn't press charges because I didn't want to ruin my cousin's relationship and I didn't want to cause friction between her and I because we live in the same house with her mother/my aunt. But now since she's moving out I want to press charges but her and her boyfriend are saying that I just want to press charges because she's moving out. And they're saying they're going to make me look like a whore in court. Because I did participate with him towards the end. But I am mentally incapable of making decisions and my aunt has the paperwork to prove it. So can I legally press charges on him without getting in trouble with the law? And her boyfriend says he has notes from me saying that I wanted him but I didn't write those until towards the end everything else in the beginning was unwanted. So I want to know if I can still press charges because this isn't the first time that he has done sexual stuff with girls. He had sex with a 17 year old and made sexual statements to two 16 year at a job he used to work at. So there are others that can back my statements up in court. I'm just wondering if I can press charges on him?

You need to contact the police right away. The longer you wait to report it, the harder it is to prosecute.
