  • PERSONAL JOURNALS

This podcast will talk about my experience being sexually assaulted. There will be explicit language and situations. No names will be used and this is my 100% truth of what my attacker did to me and my journey to reach the healing phase. I chose to share my experience because it still amazes me that only 1% of rapists or attackers will ever be sentenced and only 4 % arrested. There are no consequences so it continues to get worse!

    The attack. I said no and stop!

    Part 2. This is the assault. It is my truth. I stress that I did my best as when I spoke to the police to remember the timeline as best I could. The important part is repeatedly I said no and stop. And that never happened
