'He took so much more from me that night other than the rape itself' - woman assaulted as she slept beside partner and baby

The victim described the terrifying experience, stating, "I felt completely violated and terrified in my own home. I was supposed to feel safe, especially with my baby beside me, but instead, I was haunted by fear and helplessness. The fact that I was asleep makes it even more sickening to think about what happened to me that night."

Reflecting on the aftermath, she mentioned, "It has affected my daily life severely. Every time I close my eyes, I am reminded of the trauma. I struggle to trust anyone, and even the thought of someone near me makes me anxious. I want to protect my child but feel so scared that I can’t even guarantee our safety."
