It was on a Friday evening in july(1994) my baby girl and i who was( 6 months) at the time ,were coming back from visiting my mom & stepdad in Rose Hill (Manchester). We took a cab to Mandeville hoping to catch a bus to Trelawny where i’m from, it was the weekend and there was a lot of hustling and bustling , people trying to get home night was coming down so with a young baby and bags it was no easy task for me. As soon as a bus arrives people were pushing and shoving, i didn’t wanna do that because i didn’t wanna hurt my baby. As it started getting darker I finally decided that I would go back to my mom’s and start my journey home in the morning. So I started looking out for a cab going back to Rose Hill, been the careful person as i am and as a line female I decided I wasn’t going in a cab by myself. 30 minutes in i saw this cab drive up and the driver says he’s going to Rose Hill, there was two ladies there with me and they were also going my way, now i felt good because I’ve got female company. The ride was good until the first lady get to her stop and i’m praying that my stop would be next before the other lady, been that I’m new to he area I just wanted to get home with my child. But it wasn’t to be the other ladies stop was next, after she got out I felt an unease in my stomach and I new something about the driver wasn’t right then and there. There’s this little square before you reach to Rose Hill and I kno we have to go straight when I see the driver making a turn and I said” no you’re going the wrong way” he didn’t say anything . So I started praying and asking Got please take care of my daughter because maybe we gonna be killed. I vividly remember exactly our stop because it was steps going down to the house where he would take us, i keep asking him why he’s doing this and what is he gonna do to me and my child . He said if I only cooperate he will do no harm to us, i tried my best not to scream because he said if I did he would kill my baby all this time he had her. When we got in the house it was pitch black no lights at all but i heard a lady’s voice from a room , it was his mom because he called her mom and all she said was you have another friend over and he said yes mama, go back to sleep now. I tried to be calm and talk to him to see if he would have a change of heart , he told me his mom is blind and can’t do nothing so he’s the one who takes care of her. He brought me to his room which was also pitch black all i could do is sit one place on the bed and he say next to me and told even if u scream no one would hear. He then started touching me , i keep pushing him off he then stuck something in my back because i wasn’t gonna make it easy for him no matter what, i was praying so hard my baby was crying and I couldn’t help her. He finally over power me and he raped me twice. After he’s done he told me to get dressed and I could leave, i got dressed so fast grab my baby and feel my way out the house I went up the stairs and as soon as i started walking I saw a white truck think it was a milk truck, i was no longer scared I just wanted to get home i told the driver where i was going and he dropped me in Rose Hill square and I walked home. I didn’t tell my parents what had happened to me I only told them I couldn’t get a bus so I came back home. That’s my story as a rape victim and this is over 21-22 years and i only told one person last year…
Senda, I am so sorry you that this happened to you. I wish I could reach across time and space and embrass you. I at a lost for words but I am so happy you and your daughter survived. I hope you will go and get some help to process all of what happened because it created wounds that need healing. Twenty years is not to late to speak to a professional, even a trusted pastor as most are trained counsellor. I pray that you will heal and may God grant you peace and joy beyound understanding.
I try to stay away from these posts because the emotions I feel are too raw. I just cant comprehend something not happening to that rapist..Survivor I will keep you in my prayers , your strength is second to none :kiss
Met I want you to please remember what I am about to say, although you have heard it before. Anytime the demons want come on your site and trace you don’t forget you are a blessing to many. Your site is a place where God can do much work in the lives of his children. Don’t get discourage when it gets difficult. Just say prayed up and I for one will continue to pray for you. Peace
I am so teary eyed
I pray that Gods power will move into your spirit and push out the negative energy that the agent of satan tried to implant in your spirit through the rape, which enter through negative emotions,
what I am telling you I have been learning to do myself as I have unresolved trauma issues, anger resentment, rejection, etc. may you realize with each day that you will and are a testament that Good can and will overcome evil.

We vehemently condemned the raping of our women and children. I deeply admire your strength sender.i humbly make a suggestion that you slip/pinch met the details of the whereabouts and description of your rapist.
Ppl get killed in Accidents happen all the time,even if it is 20yrs later!
I was so hoping for a happy ending to this story. Sender you are in my thoughts and prayers.
This brings raw memories. I was almost raped by my God father as a child. God knows I had forgotten about the incident until this story just brought back the raw memory. I never question how a person can get raped because I remember that Saturday vividly. How he pins me down on his bed, started kissing me and pulling my clothes. I guess is the blank look on my face, why he stopped when he looked in my eyes. I was so frighten and paralysed, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. I know if he had wanted to continue, he could have had his way multiple times because i became so lifeless. I pray for all the people who were penetrated against their will that you will find strength and get counselling because my attempted rape was over 30 years ago, and as I type, God knows I feel back that lifeless feelings
I just said a small prayer for you hun.By the grace of DOD you will persevere.
Thks Yardie. Pray for those who are really rape victims because without Counselling they can be traumatised for life, if you are not a strong soul. Nothing happen to me, so I’m good. Thank God for sparing me that day.
