I would walk down the street hearing whispers, some secretly laughing at me and others giving me judgmental looks. I saw my entire life suddenly collapse, and I knew my dignity had been erased forever
The woman who accused me knew she had no evidence. Her goal was to force me to pay her a lot of money to keep the case quiet.
She knew the name rape would scare me and make me agree to her terms. When I was told to pay money so I wouldn't have to appear in court, I refused.
I felt in my heart that I would lose everything if I accepted that lie. When I decided to stand in court, many saw me as someone who wanted to do harm to myself.
However, I knew the truth was on my side. All I needed was the strength to stand strong during this difficult time.
