Hi-

I have a very good friend who lives in SPB. I know he has been having problems the last month or more with work and relationships, and he has been going out a lot and drinking to excess (he IS going to be 23, so that is not necessarily unusual).

About 45 minutes ago, I got an sms from him and he said he wanted to talk to me online tonight (it is already 10pm now in SPB). Then 5 minutes later, I get another one from him but all the letters were black boxes. I sent him back an sms asking him to send it again but he did not answer.

I decided to transfer the sms from my phone to my computer and I saw it was in russian.

All the sms said was: "Меня изнасиловали"

I translated it and it said it means "me have raped"

I sent another sms asking him what he meant and again, no answer.

Can this be an expression other than what I am literally interpreting it to be in english? Could it mean that he is worn out, tired, drunk, empty inside? I looked up that word in my russian-english dictionary and it only has the definition as "rape".

I would not want to think that is what he means. Any thoughts?

Thank you-
Ethan
