I'm reading between a lot of lines here, so if I have read this wrong I apologize.
These sorts of things are never your "fault." Even if there was "something you could have done" to make a different outcome, it's still not your fault. Why? Because it's not your job to ensure that other people behave right. That's their job, and if they don't do it it's always on them. It's a measure of how truly fucked up our society is that in certain situations a victim is somehow expected to control the thoughts and actions for everyone around.
