Hello back, @Texashuntress .
First of all a tip for you: please use @ to generate a tag when you respond. Even if in this conversation actually there are just you and me (well, you are touching a very sensitive subject) active members receive a lot of notifications, and if we haven’t too much time we may skip the ones where we are not tagged. You are lucky because I am quarantined at home, so in this moment I have more time 
To respond to your question: No, I am not working for Google. I am a volunteer Local Guide exactly like you. This give me the opportunity to go straight to the point and to focus on details.
Let me now move to the more important part: your issue.
I am really sorry about your terrible experience. I’ve been traveling for almost twenty years for work, often finding myself alone in countries where life hasn’t always been easy. I happened to be threatened, and once even robbed just as I was about to take the plane to go home. In those situations I didn’t always know what to do, not knowing the local law and having to decide whether to file a police report and miss the plane, or let it go and leave.
In your case it’s even worse, I know, because impotence and humiliation take over. I am very sorry about all this.
Therefore I understand your reaction very well: leave at least one review in which to tell your experience, so that others can decide whether to go into that business or not. However …
… However, in this case we are walking on thin ice, on that very narrow border between what is allowed to do and what Google avoids doing, to protect itself and you too, even if it doesn’t seem like it to you.
Let me explain: if this review had been written in your country, or even in mine (in Italy) the author of the review would probably have been denounced by the business, as it refers to criminal offenses which in our two countries are punished by law law, and consequently they must be reported to the judicial authority, demonstrated with evidence and, if proven, punished by a sentence of a judge.
If not proven with evidence, they could lead to the reviewer being convicted of various crimes, ranging from defamation to wanting to lower a business’s ranking through reviews. So Google is somehow forced to remove these types of reviews, to protect itself, the business and also the reviewer. A review in Google Maps cannot replace a legal action, just to simplify.
You can find a detailed explanation about how the system works in Maps user-generated content policy “We remove content because it violates our policies or terms of service, or to comply with legal obligations”
In short: your review will never be published with the actual test. You can try an edit writing a review that comply with the policies.
Personally, to fix your issue I will move in two steps:
- Check and fix the reviews that are not visible. You can find the missing reviews by comparing your private profile with the public one, on a web browser. To see your public profile open this link in incognito mode
- After that, fill this Google Form to share your profile with the team. As I said already, “It will take around three weeks for the check to be performed. Everything that is not against the rules will be released.”
Google Workspace is providing services for you, and can help you in several things, but not about Google Maps, that is a very specific field, nor about the Local Guides Program. That’s why we have communities and forums, like this one.
Why I say this? Because I am extremely interested in the “other side” of the story: your travels. Travel is one of the sections of Connect, where we share our travel stories. Stories like this (Traveling like a Local - Venezia - Palazzo Ducale ).
When you have time, feel free to explore Connect, and to get inspired about new places to visit, or food to taste (or wine), or about to share your experience with us.
Good luck with your reviews
